Been on this board long enough to have developed the STRONG belief that the perfect boat doesn't exist. Get the "perfect" boat for super-skinny water and it won't be the best for choppy offshore trips or for taking out a large group of scallopers. Get a big pontoon perfect for taking a bunch of scallopers out and you won't have a racing boat when you want to fly away from fast moving storms.
So have to admit it caught me offguard when I actually found the perfect boat... well, far from perfect for fishing or for money saving purposes, but for Jumptrout "Hefner" and his harem of goats, honestly think this IS the PERFECT boat.

Last time we were at Keaton we saw a boat from Georgia that you must have built. It looked like an Ice Breaker crossed with a Steel Chisel and a Battle Ship. I ask the young man what kind of boat it was and he said, "ugly ain't it?". " Well", I said, not wanting to say it that strong, "I've never seen a boat just like it."
Turned out it was a duck boat with blinds and all rolled up and tied on the gunnel. I think he punches himself into duck pot holes in the swamp?
Don't take it that I'm saying your boat is ugly either! I didn't start either converstion with that thought.
Both boats a little unusual. I like um. Adds a little flavor to life.
First boat i came across on a job site -- used by the DOT for 'on site" investigations. Second picture is a boat built to fish two and three day trips on the water.. For back coutry type fishing..
Nah, the hot tub boat will not work. Everyone knows that no goat wants to get into the water. Now reel ugly would be real good for the old boy and his girlfriends ... errr nannies!
