My almost finished bass/duck boat
Posted on 8/1/11 at 8:16 am

2011 19'10''x 60 flats boat. It is sporting dual 36 hp prodrives with hydraulic trim/reverse. It has build in winch, cd player, amp,4 6.5 inch speakers,71 thrust trolling motor,3 bank onboard charger, 2 bilge pumps, and hydro turf. I have many more wants but no money left. If I did it would be sporting a nice size gps/fishfinder. Let me know if there is anything cheap I need to get. BTW this is a homemade boat so don't be brutal if you don't like it.

I was thinking hard about a livewell but didnt want to take up anymore floor space.

You could always convert a cheap ice chest to one later if you felt one was necessary.
I know who to call when I want a boat built now

How much does the hull weigh? That thing is stout nice job. Have you run it yet? I am curious on what kind of performance you get with those twin surface drives.

Sweet rig. Feel free to make me one while you're at it.

I have no weight numbers. Bottom is 3/16 and sides are 1/8. Guys with similar rigs run low 30's for top end and loaded right at 30. I should be close but every boat/ motor is different.

It looks like more of a hunting boat, but if you're going to be doing much fishing in it, what about rod holders? (I looked for them in the pics, but I couldn't see any)

Yea I plan on adding some under the catwalks. I actually made this more geared towards fishing than my last mud rig I had. I hope to be putting bass in this thing by friday.

A boat with a winch?

Trust me my last boat didnt and I was running about 30 threw some lilly's and ended up about 40 feet from water. Took 4 of us about 3 hours to get it floating. I then decided next boat would have a winch.

Oh Im not putting you down. I think it would be nice. But when it's freezing cold, what dumbass do you send in the water to tie you up to a tree?
Posted on 8/1/11 at 9:29 am to crankbait
I would think you could toss out a decent sized anchor and use the winch to suck you towards deeper water.

If you are stuck enough where twin go devils can't get you out, I don't see anyone being able to through a sufficient anchor far enough to give enough leverage for a winch. I could be wrong
Eta. If you are going through something that a boat with that much flat bottom surface area and twin go devils can't get you out, you are either trying to drive though a asphalt parking lot or need some more common sense

When we duck hunt most of the time all of us dumbass's get in the water. We get stuck one person hooks the winch to a tree and we pull out.
If I had common sense I wouldnt even own a boat.
BTW this boat is for sale for anyone wanting it.

I took it out for it's first run and it was good except I couldnt get full throttle. I was running 3500 Rpm's with 4 people in boat and going from 25-27 mph per GPS. I should be getting 4200 Rpm's. I fixed throttle but havent been back out in it yet.
