This is great swamp boat

Mine is an SPS (Mudmotorkit. Com)

Mostly those 330’s are mostly out of the water guarding castor mounds. Btw, I take that Jon out in lakes with 2.5 foot whitecaps sometimes. No issue other that it gets bumpy. Never feel it’s too dangerous

14-48

Looks like I am not the only one that likes this kind of boat. Been a lot of fish caught with it also

The sloped up front lets you get right up on the bank. step from the boat onto dry land. Running a tiller leaves a lot of room in the middle for dead stuff and traps. toss in a couple folding chairs to sit in the middle for drift fishing.

Hutch,
Sorry for my ignorance.
Is the georgian bay boat a company or is that a style?
Nice looking boar.

Alumacraft T16-XL. Only made for a stretch in the 80s. Rated 40 horse. Won't find that horsepower rating today in a new similar boat. Lightweight, yet strong.

35 horse longtail Go Devil. Very versatile. You can really load up the front end and the 35 will kick it up on plane quickly.

Found a 3500 pound Shorelander trailer, used, that I can slip under it at the boat landing and haul everything back no problem.

V-bows are good to go in river trapping. Whenever you tie up at the bank, the boat always swings parallel to the shore anyway.

My second trapping rig is an Alumacraft T-14 V-bow with a 9 horse longtail Go Devil. Good rig for early ice/late ice situations on the river, or when the landing is suddenly shut down with snow and you can skid this rig across and into the drink.

BP . . . port side dimple there. Must've been drifting downstream sideways with a load in the boat, eh?

Mines similar to Danny's. Crestliner 16.5 Retriever with a 40 hp Mercury. If you go with a Jon boat , get a modified v. Takes a chop better.

Nah, was pulling the trailer and drove into a ditch. Trailer flew off and came down on its side.
(Don’t text and drive). Lol

Looks like I’m buying a Tracker Grizzly 1448, with a Suzuki 20. Engine is a 2016 electric start with 12 hours on it from the dealer putting the computer on it. Dealer is not the one selling it. Be a lot different than the McKenzie style drift boat I have trapped out of. No more trying to hitch hike back up river with a gun.

Good one! Almost the same location in the fishing/hunting boat. Had a couple of lard arses in the boat drifting a small river bow hunting and got hung up on some timber. Was touch and go there for a minute or two. Current really had us pinned. Look along that port side a little further back and you can see the dimple.

Yup. I see it. I’ve had a few hair raising episodes myself over the years

BP is your a 36 or 48 wide? Have not seen you for a while.

Muskrat that one with the lady up front, is that boat an alumacraft?

an excellent fishing boat, drafts very little, and very stable

If I lived in a rocky area I'd go welded, but see no need for that down here on the Wisconsin River or in the Mississippi.

We have several companies in the area that make similar boats. Stanley boats are the most well known.

Plate welded aluminum boats that will literally last several lifetimes.

Google stanley predator . That would be my next boat if I needed one

Mine is a 14-48 riveted. Got a bunch of fatigued aluminum welded up and a few holes here and there. It’s watertight to start the season anyway.

Very Nice
