Seems impractical to me, to #1 use plastic, and an outboard. In NE Florida. Those "poling platforms are just $500 chairs, because with the tides no one is poling anyone in our current.......S. Florida maybe. But not here!
We have MUD, SAND, GRASS, OYSTERBEDS, ROCKS, and all that can be up in one back water, marsh creek! I know the dudes with those flats boats have to baby them. I'm not talking slinging a fuzzy-whooly-bugger type fishing in cosmoplitan Miami or the Florida keys, as this photo depicts. But North Florida/ Georgia and Carolina's backwater, slugging thru black gumbo, tailing Redbass over oystershell creeks.
And ya'll know I'm really into Youtube also. I learn so much from that site about boats. Almost more than here on AAB, because face it, "were kinda stuck on big fort boats." Where as, being the red-headed step child as a inshore light tackle in the heat of Florida kinda Alloy owner, I'm an exception.
So, you can tell my "wheels are a turnin' " all the time. "What if I ever wanted to venture into another kind of fishing, or had the opportunity to get a second boat?"
I just found a fella in Pa. that's DOING IT RIGHT! From what I can see. You tell me? And from what I can tell is almost "OVER-BUILDING" a Jetboat, for river fishing, compared to others I see out there. If I could take a quicky weekend trip, I'd go see this man, for a test drive, just to satisfy my curiousity!
YOU BE THE JUDGE. He's using techniques and aluminum that seems to be a real rarity in these type boats, that are Jon-style jets. And finally, a Youtube video that really shows the STEAK, jus not the sizzle....IE: boat jumping over sand dunes.
I'll invite him to join here, because "HE SHOULD be on AAB.com". And we can add another small boat builder, but this time one that builds smaller boats.
Here's the video, check it out, and then "discuss".
