So two seasons ago I switched to The Slip Life and to V drives .Now I have to admit the first season was a little unnerving the advice and time with AFTICA and others was great help.I made it through the first season with all my gel coat and no one else's. This season there was a little less worry well for me the Admiral still not so much but even shes coming around this last season. Overall slow and steady wins the race and not having to much pride to bail and take another shot at it when things got out of shape.Now between my buddies Hatteras and the large cotton wood trees with a the normal west wind there is a constant whirlwind right in front of my slip which thinks my boat should spin around in circles plus my well neighbor has a big ass wide body Tara but still have stayed on my side of the well . All and all I think I'm getting the hang of it until the time I don't. When things get out of shape I remember what AFTICA told me steer it like a shopping cart and don't go any faster then your willing to hit something.
