Thanks for stoppin' in fellas. To answer your question about support... The boat itself has four sets of bench seating type deals across it I'm only elavating the bow area of the boat for fishing and trolling motor operation... The way I got it set up, there's only 20inches of no support under the top deck... I weigh in a mere 170 soak and wet, so the way I figure it, it'll support me for a couple years until I buy my poling skiff...
I'm all about limiting weight for draft ability. We here in SWFL take advantage of our lush, up and coming grass flats... I need to be able to float in 7-12 inches of water... Motor trimmed up, and poling the flat...
The next phase just may be a elavated poling platform on the stern. That's still undecided cuz the only reason for that is for 2 person fishing... I'm a solo fisherman usually..
I like to run up and down backwater canals for snook and reds...
The hatch really looks the bizness eh? It'll really look sharp once everythings got carpet on it. I got it a TAMahoneys here in Tampa. They've got a website:
