Big honkin' Tiller boat.

Look at that bow....

BIG HORSE TILLER

Able to carry many people, if they cooperate.

Easily fished "IF" everyone faces the same direction...down stream?

Maybe it's just the Red piping on the seats...?

Red aluminum treaded deck...cool... :D

I saw one of those the other day on the steelhead river I posted about and it was beautiful.

The backwards seating does a couple of things. For one it keeps your clients faces from being exposed to 40 mph sub-freezing wind as you make your way up the river at 5:00 am in January.

Also for back trolling plugs it gets you facing in the right direction. Picture this, the boat is facing upriver with power applied minimally so as allowing about a 1 knot backward drift downstream in a current probably traveling about 10 knots. You put plugs out the back of the boat and troll in reverse. Its weird but effective.

Alloy, yer funny! If I won the lotto and could have my lodge in the NW, you could come and sit in any seat ya wanted.

Chaps, I was just kidding. I understand the fishing methods. But round here, I'd need just a tad less seats and a little more versatility. But I could make this boat work for inshore fishing, in NE Fla.

A big tiller just seems so damn simple and efficiant. That's why I like these boats so much. And this one has plenty of "fancy" going on. Which is sweet. Saw another that was 25 foot long. This one's a scant 23.
