I'd forget to secure my tackle box and it would slide off into the water between spots.... :roll: I would slip on the wet deck and end up ..... :smt013

Better secure your stuff. Bet plenty of people would be losing things off that.

I guess instead of saying "get in"
you say
"get on". :o

It's flat so you won't trip and fall in. You just fall in!

In Florida it's the shallowest boat you can get in to...In Texas it's the shallowest boat you can get in and out of...They wade most of the time in Texas, low sides to get in and out of, mainly...Their already wet so the ride doesn't matter

I would think the low profile and interior design cut down on weight, hence the 5" draft.
What was I supposed to do today?

And with that low a profile, ya don't want anything that can hold all the water that's coming over the front, sides, and rear of the boat :o :smt011 :beer: :beer:
