Latest Creation

Decided not to bore everyone with another build thread like the last sled thread but here's the boat I'm just finishing for my Brother

[Chaps]

Nice sled, is he a guide?

[ReelSong]

No, He's a comercial crab fisherman, but while home he spends almost everyday on the Cowlitz river two miles from his home, this boat is only 19' long with forward tank and 78" bottom. should be a great back bouncer and side drifter which is primarily what he does.

Very nice! Did you build the trailer as well? Have you sold the old boat, yet?

[ReelSong]

Well I had the boat sold to a guy in Sitka, and then at the last minute he found a boat there with only 20 hours that fit the bill and I lost out. Yes I built the trailer also. A guy from Anchorage called friday about boat, but he needs it to be more of a camper then a charter so I'm taking off the market til
September and fishing tuna this summer, When and if it sells, I'll start a bigger one.

Looks like one of them wicked Aussie trailers...the look that only comes from "personally made".

Is that Diamond Plate part of the boat as in "pieced in" or is that "jus fer looks", over the actual hull material

[ReelSong]

Jetty, its welded on over hull plate for looks and to protect from anchor slaps and parking with nose in the brush. Some times we run nose up in the brush on the river and motor anchor while back bouncing or drift fishing, besides it looks cool. The trailer looks tough also and will work well on this little boat.
