Title: Ever see one of these on the Caney
Post by: David L. Darnell on March 04, 2009, 10:33:20 PM: always thought they were a useful boat. Never touched one until I stopped and looked at this one, might be heavy for my 25hp jet, somewhere around 635lb. Price is right.

A few years ago I read the Florida Sportsman board quite a bit. Back then there was a chance we would move to Florida when we got old so I was trying to learn a little about the place. Lot's of those boats down there.

Are those supposed to be unsinkable?

Oh, and no, we aren't going to move to Florida. We done got old and we're still here.

Still made from glass and glass and rocks don't get along that well...just the same it is a nice boat

First one I ever saw and I didn't walk across the parking lot to look at it was in Goose Creek,SC. My oldest son was a Navy Corpsman stationed at Charleston Naval Hosp. his neighbor was a Navy Chief and would take his 16' out so far that 3 times while Chris was there (2 1/2) years he had to call and get a big boat to come out and get him out of the gulf stream water. Chris said he was a trip, I never got to meet him.
