Was at a non-disclosed location in the Atchafalaya Basin yesterday, noticed 2 different aluminum, flat-bottomed boats with an enclosed bow, 4 bucket seats, approximately 20’, and hi-po Mercury Racing 2-stroke engines. Anyone familiar with this type of boat?

They have a million different guys in that area who build the exact boat you’re talking about.

Ran a 26’ scully for two months and it’s like riding in a beer can. Noisy and rough with shite handling.

You can't make an aluminum boat ride like a glass or wood boat without getting really weird (expensive) with the construction and adding weight to it.

Developable surfaces are a bitch.
