nice dry ride, Ive run it from deep in the marsh to 40 miles offshore.

Check out Sportsman Fabrication. No website just a facebook page. He is doing mine now, just fin ished a 26 and 27ft. The guy is an artist with aluminum...

That is a beautiful boat.. It almost would pass for a fiberglass one, just looking at the pic..

BlueWave...Where is Sportsman Fab. located. Thanks for reply.

I just went and checked out Sportsmans Fabricators facebook page.

His boats are alright,nothing special though IMO.

That Gaudet is sick

popeye, how much did that rig run you (motor and trailer included)

i'm not sure that gravois still builds fishing boats. Maybe he does but i thought he had moved into a more commercial product.

Gaudet is doing very good work. Clint stays very busy..Easy to get along with and seems to build a very nice boat. A fried just ordered a 24. we'll find out what they're made of soon.

cuts through the waves and sends the spray out the sides.

She's 6 years old now. I've probably got over 40K in it with the seat cushions, trim tabs electronics etc. My step dad has the Bon Chance that charter's out of Grand Isle and his boat is a little more stable when fishing because it is wider at the bottom but mine is drier when riding because it has more flare to it and is wider at the top.

Sportsman's Fabrication 20x6 22' bow to motor and 8' beam.

I think name is now Metal Shark and builds boats for gov agencies.

I drive back and forth pass Gaudets every day going and coming from my work . Those people are always bowed up ! I've never dealt with them personally but have watched their business grow over the years . All I can say is they must be doing something right !
