Yeah, you are probably right. I imagine with it all welded it will be quite stronger by default. The boat looks great and I think you will be real happy with it when your done. That 70hp should push that thing great. Doea it have tilt/trim? I dont have but a 50hp on mine and with me and my dog...

Thanks for the kind words Knot. Im glad you were able to pull some ideas off of my build and tweak them for your build. There were several things I would have done different if I had to do it over again, but it looks like you have done the tweaking it needed. I think the front storage is a great...

This was my last weekend to chase flatties as I will be out of town this week and duck season starts after Thanksgiving. I had plans on hitting the water both Fri and Sat night but mother nature changed my mind. I had been seeing quite a few redfish around my last several floundering trips so...

Congrats. Kinda looks like a cross between and Snook and a Bass. Beautiful fish.

You sir, are correct. Love em

10-4 on catching them on rod and reel. It takes some practice though, they bite very soft and very slow. They are hard to hook if they are bicatch because of the way they bite, after you get a hit you have to wait 10-15 seconds before you set the hook. They grab the bait and settle on the bottom...

We decided to try a new area out Sat night and was in the water at about 7ish. We were graciously met with a pretty stout ESE wind which would end up working in our favor a little. It had most of the areas I was interested in looking at blown out but there was plenty of real estate where we...

Upon request I am going to give a quick rundown on the building of my "Toolbox" Center Console. The concept of my tin build was to make a "flats style" boat to chase inshore fish on the flats and in the shallows. The entire time I was in the process of building my boat the console was always in...

I am in the wood door business so I have pretty much a unlimited supply of Mahogany. The exact species is Cedro Arana but its just a type of Mahogany.

I used a tool box to make my center console

Unlike Redfish, kings, spanish and several other species around here, the larger flounder do not seem to have the higher merc levels and the more fishy taste. A large flounder for this area is 21-22" and up. I have not personaly caught or gigged a flounder over about 22" but have seen many well...

I will get some and post when I can. Its hard cause my setup doesnt go on the boat till it comes off the trailer, and by that time its usually dark. Ill see what i can do.

The flounder are pretty plentiful around here this time of year. Alabama limit is 10 w/12" min. Miss. is 15 w/12" min. I could have easily gigged 40 the night I got these. The flounder will come up in the shallows at night and if the water is clear are pretty easy pickins. I use a set up...

Got my floundering set up on my tin done last week and took her out Sat night. Weather was great, about 65 degrees and not a whisper of wind. Didnt take long to find some clear water and the fish were everywhere. The flounder are making there run at this time of the year hear and if the...

Small world I was in Laurel last weekend working on the Chick-Fil-A in the mall there. Sawmill Mall or something. And you are correct it took me exactly 2 hours to get there for here. Not a bad drive. Hell I live 15 minutes from some fine inshore fishing and I drive 2-3 hours going over to La...

Im diggin the Twins. Thats hilarious. I read something about inshore fishing and see that you are from South Ms. Where abouts?

Started working on my floundering setup. Gonna be running 3-200w floods on deck and 2-100w halogens for under water on a small generator. This should give me plenty of light to gig some "flatties". Pics to come soon. If yall have never tried floundering you dont know what you are missing. As a...

Stablitly of the boat is great. The center console has flex to it, I figured it would with it standing alone like it is, its bolted down to the floor so Im not afraid of it coming loose but it makes the gps hard to read in a chop. Not any worse than every other tin center console Ive been in...

I used a product called luma brite to clean and etch the hull. I started with a unfinished hull so thats all the prep work I did. I used Parkers Duck Boat paint top and bottom, 2 coats no primer. I am pretty rough on boats during duck season and this is the second tin I have done with the...
