I would hate to take a wave broadside with that rig!

[zload]

It would drain pretty quick!

[mbweimar]

It'd make a good scalloping rig though. Easy to get in and out of. Also self bailing, so if you DO get swamped, you just get you're feet wet! LOL

[Flint River Pirate]

It would be a miserable ride!

[red_yakker]

Sure would make it easier to pull them big ole gator trout in the boat!

[DEMON]

Wouldn't have to worry about it sinking. It's already there.

All the joking aside, anybody know the motivation for that exact design?

Seems a bit small / underpowered to take too many folks scalloping... and a bit small for dragging many crab pots aboard. Sure make landing fish easier, I guess? Just drag them aboard.

[red_yakker]

They refer to it as a "Surf Rescue" boat. I assume it's designed that way to make it easier to pull drowning surfers into the boat.

Didn't pay attention to the title... not like they're going to need luck with that sale... because, you know, everybody needs a $7,500 rescue boat.

No not a Carolina .. But I have the next best Boat for getting Skinny water Trout AND REDS ALONG WITH THE FRESH MULLET

Thanks for the video. It leads me back to my original question.......WHY?

[slowroller]

It would be hard to keep empty "cola" cans from blowing out the back.
