Seein as I'm probably gonna fishing outta one pretty regularly now, id like to know some pros and cons and suggestions from anyone who's had experience with them. It's 17ft cc, thanks

Fish Hauler runs a 24' Carolina Skiff, so he'd be the man to talk to for sure, and he's in the Waco area.

I have been fishing out of a 19' center console carolina Skiff since 1993. I love it, makes a great catfising boat, they are stable clean up easy, are very simple and customizable and have alot of room.

Only drawback I think really is rough wet ride, but it doesnt bother me.

Sounds awesome Garrett congrats on the new rig.

Thanks fellas, yeah hopefully were goin to get it next week if everything works out with the guy. I owe ya a flattie trip Bob! Lol we needa fish soon man, this heats been retarded.. How'd the coast go?

There are some pros and cons to this boat.

Pros
Open fishing area
High capacity per ft of boat
Gets into skinny water
Fuel efficient design
Quickly gets on plane

Cons
Plain Jane.
Limited built in storage
Not a very tough, impacts will damage almost very time
Ride can be wet, driver can minimize this.
Boat rattles itself apart, you must tighten everything once a month b

Thanks for the tips man! Yeah I mostly fish the Brazos, it doesn't get rough really, but I will take it on lakes so I'll keep that in mind, appreciate it!

I realize it isnt the perfect boat, but I have never had to tighten a screw or bolt that I didnt take out, and the boat has been fishing choke canyon, which is as log stump filled as any lake and it is in pretty good shape.
