Has anyone heard of this boats? Its a 1993 model I've been trying to find out some specs on it any have been able to dig up nothing. I realize it's not a "true mud boat" but I don't have the money for one of those right now just something to beat up for a couple of seasons till I graduate. How to you think it would do with a 23 GD SD? here is a pic. The guy is asking $800 for it and the trailer. My budget gives me about 1,750 or so that I can spend on a boat if you know of a better one. A little paint and I could hunt it. The dimensions are obviously 15' long and 42" at the bottom but 63" at the top. The only thing that scares me is I do hunt a cyprus swamp every now and then that is pretty stumpy. What do you guy's think? Trailer is 16' and galvanized so I might be able to salvage it after I put this boat through hell. here is a pic. of said boat. |

I'd buy it and run it. Then save up for sumthin bigger. if thats what you want. True mudhulls werent always available and people put mudmotors on all sorts of shiit. |

I run a 14 foot boat much like that one and it runs just fine. |

i actually think your selling yourself short.. i used to run a 31gdlt on a 14x48 and it dident seem to have half the capabilaty of my mudhull. the 14ft would suction like hell, wouldent slide, dents easy.. i ran it for years with no structal problems but it just beat the hell outta me and had poor performance. your call |
