Re: Opinion on Aluminum Boat

Most relevant info has been posted already. I just have one theing to add - the flip side of being light and floating in nothing is that on a windy day, the alum boat will get blown around twice as bad. Which is remedied with drift sock/5 galon buckets. I am a believer of aluminum in this area for ...

Re: Boater's insurance

Thats sounds like a good rate, but it all depends on what it covers. Collision, comprehensive, towing, gear, liability, personal injury?

Mine is $25 per thousand with progressive with varying rates of all the coverages above.

Aren't you the one that told me those HP rating plates were the "minimum suggested HP"?

Destin charter recommendations

Looking for a offshore charter out of Destin for 3 or 4 people. Smaller boats are fine. I had a guy we used before that was real good, but I lost his card. I could probably find him if I walked the docks, but we are going Memorial Day so i want to book it in advance.

Dont think I can make it this weekend - too much going on, but slipping out momentarily to try to catch a few bucketmouths.

Re: Comments on a Mitzi skiff

Sexy looking, but they also look small, and as small and flat as it is, there is no way it rides very dry or smooth in rough water.

But most flats boats dont. No boat deos everything well. If its good shallow, the ride is rough. If its dry, it drafts more, etc, etc.

Re: trolling motors?

55# is fine for a light boat like you are talking, but you may regret the pull start 25. 25s can be a pain to pull and 4 strokes haven't really come all that far. A cracking battery for a small motor doesnt weight much. I watched this very scenario on the lake the other day with a new 25hp 4 stroke...

Re: Been seeing a trend.

We have been in about 4.5 feet for trout, blues, spanish, and flounder. Less than 2 foot for reds and trout. The shallow trout have been fewer, but significantly larger

Re: trolling motors?

You are going to want that extra 10# of thrust, if not more. An underpowered trolling motor isnt a bargin at any price.
