Simple, alloy fishing boat:

[JETTYWOLF]

The Alweld, Escort:

comes in 21 and 23 foot. Looks to be all anyone would need for an inexpensive inshore fishing boat in the south.
Sorry, they don't make any model's with forts or camper backs.

Has a unique bottom shape. What us in the south call a "Bay Boat". Meaning this style hull lays flat in the water, and looks dry riding.

Used in such places as Texas and Louisiana..."hence" Bay Boat. Means can run across BIG water to fish the calm shallower water on the other side. Here's a Texas boat, which would work great in Florida too:

Floatation pods added...less bow lift, faster planing.

Hey Dawg, this maybe in your favor too.

If you don't like BIG hats, add one of these new fangled tops and leaning posts.

K-Top...for those who love sun shine, but not directly.

This is how we roll in the lower, lower 48 tracking Trophy Troutz and Redbass...toss in a Tarpon and King Mac, when on a BUDGET...more for gas and beer . I'd like these as a charter fleet boat.

That thing should scoot with that 150.

So what is the cost of a bare hull 21" or 23'

I called the Alaskan Alwed dealer about the 21' and with standard features the boat alone is $14,434... you have to add shipping, motor, and trailer.

Not bad. I have a spare Honda 90... might be a little on the small side of things for this boat.

But it definately looks like a stout, good running boat.
