Re: Project Tarpon
not even close...unless they want to sponsor the NFGFC and donate one to the March tourney.
I bet it'll find some groupers though

Maybe for Boca Grande Pass, but not around here.

Good lord. Keep that boat down south in the pass. Something like that would "never" be able to perform up here. that V is ridiculous.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

Great construction sequence photos of the cold molding process. It would nice to see some plans or boat for the flats usng the cold molding process for us cheap skate DIY types. While not for our flats area it is an impressive build.

Re: Project Tarpon
Well, I dunno. How often do you see tarpon in water less than 3 feet deep? With the pocket drive system, it should be able to do that fairly easily. I just don't see the need for that deep V, and can't understand why they wouldn't prefer a bay boat or a panga.
