Hello everyone Take a look at the boat I just ordered and tell me what you think. I dont get it for a few week. It is made in Florida. I am coppin the image from another site. This is one of the hulls, they can be fitted out with differant kinds of decks or bench pieces - I am putting a rear bench with a front deck as a 'flats boat' rig.

should be a good dry ride. I dont know how fast it will be, it might be kinda rough with it being that short. How heavy is the hull? U know what, the more i think about that design u r using for the hull the more i like it. tell us how everything works out.

Here is a rendering Im going to do a flats boat style layout like the one on the upper right- with a front deck and rear deck, you can have whatever rig you order, flat boat style or whatever and it is a slick looking boat, sure beats buying a ghenoe

Im not sure how dry it will be but it should float real shallow which is what I want...

Boat did great - look at the boat in the turn - thats a 250 pound guy sitting as far back as possible and turning.... Boat really does good... especially for what it costs !
