Incognito Black Boat

Here are pictures from my latest build. From my little head, to an autocad drawing, to some cross-section printouts, to a pile of wood, 10-15 gallons of resin, fiberglass cloth, and some plastic, was born a mean fishing machine. Thanks to Kaylor,my #1 Fiberglass technician(my wife), and TimOub for the help when I needed some extra hands on the big glass days.

I still have a few extras to add like my Gips(gps), Poling Platform(if I can ever decide on a design), and some other odds and ends.

With the tuned 40hp Merc she'll do 35mph with 18 gallons of gas, trolling motor w/ battery, cooler full of fishing tackle, 6 rods and two fisherman(190lb avg.). And drafts around 5" leveled off in Poling position(two peeps). Drafts 2-3" with no one in the boat. bla bla...bla bla Should get close to 40mph after another prop tune up. I've never had it on the GPS nor checked draft stripped down for fly fishing.

The picture of the handle and switches is what my friend calls "Riding Texas Style". I can control the Lenco Trim Tabs, Bob's Jackplate, Merc trim, while holding on with my right hand(like riding a bull) and running the tiller with my left.

The next one I build will probably be out of a production mold. yadi yadi yada.

It was a lot of work but I built a boat that fishes like a $35000 poling skiff for about "Don't ask I don't want to add up the receipts" less than $35,000.

Good things are going to happen when the first fish out of a new rig is a 7lb trout.
