I bought this boat a couple of weeks ago. I have been looking for another river boat to make sure GAJOEY doesn't catch all of my shoal bass in the Flint. I needed something a little more stable than my 13 foot Gheenoe because I have a 2 1/2 year old that wants to go with me everytime I go. This boat has been wonderful. It is a 14 foot flat bottom Alumacraft with a Yamaha F20, 55lb thrust Minn Kota, Lowrance GPS, anchor mate, ped seats, nav lights, and floor. It will run close to 30mph with just me in it. I am really excited about it because we can use it for the river and it is small enough for ponds around the house.

Nice looking boat FRP. You will enjoy that one. It looks like a redfish machine to me. When we fish the flats I take my little 1436 with a 8hp yamaha and love it. It has been perfect for the rivers and creeks around Econfina. Just watch the wind and weather and there is no reason you cant fish out a little in that boat and you can fish all day long and burn $5 in gas. Great boat buddy. Hang on to it.

Hey neighbor! Looks perfect for you and Little Mr. Pirate! Looks like the first cousin to STRIKE TWO!
How do you keep it so clean?

Here's a rig for ya.



Whiteline 18 tunnel.
Traditional mullet boat design adapted by Ralph White over in Blountstown.

It has quite a history around here. It worked the Aucilla for several years.
Old-timers tell me stories about the past owners, wild trips, and configurations. Waivel told me it once had an inboard and a tower.

I used to go down and help some friends during the mullet run years ago, (miss those days) and really dug the design. Had been looking for an aluminum version ever since.

Draws 4".

Yes thats it. Is it still there? Also we would eat at Magoo's in East Ridge, great Bologna Burgers.

Both still here. Nickies is also famous for their onion rings, shrimp, and hamburger steak meals an icon for this area. They have made alot of changes. Outside seating. Biker crowd favorite on weekends.

Hey Doc, thanks! The way I keep it so clean is because it sits in the garage all the time!! Too much time in the office!!

Thanks Natureboy, I am looking forward to using it.

Yeah, we all got the fever, rob. Ain't no cure for it. Well, that's not really true, but as soon as you cure one fever, you'll get another one.

Found a better pic of my boat and thought I would bring this post back.

2002 15' Polar Kraft all welded with a Yamaha 25.

Well, I have since replaced the 25 with a 2010 Tohatsu 50 Hp tiller and I have added another toy to the stall. The wifey isn't quite on board with this purchase.....but it sure is fun!
