Need some input

Post by sheetsrep »

I would like some input on what you guys think would be the best fishing boat. I have two Pirogues and enjoy them very much but I would like something that can handle bigger water from time to time and a little easier to rig for fishing. Most of the fishing I plan on doing will be in small lakes and the flats but I do hit a couple large lakes with a lot of boat traffic every now and then. Difficulty of the build is not a concern so don't let that be a factor. I am open to all ideas so let me hear them.

Thanks, Brian

G'day Sheetsy,

I would be looking closely at Southwind 15 -30, or the T-V or a Laker 14 : or a Cape Fear SIKD

Pehaps a modified Okwata or Freedom 15 is well worth considering too.

Of the SOTs if stability is important, have a look at Matt's Cape Fear. If stability is not an issue, Sabalo or Wadefish also would work well for me.
Regards,
Mick

Southwind or Freedom would do nicely.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Hey Matt, How about the new version of the Wadefish? Is it going to be a stable boat?

Little more stable than the original. But not as much as the Sabalo.
