I am getting a PD boat next month and noticed that they have a option for a pointed bow on their website. I have never seen one and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. I thought it might make the ride across the open lake a little more smooth but was wondering if it would hurt my shallow water performance any?

pointed bow just means its not a square nose so when running timber and you bounce off trees easier instead of faceplantin

All it is is a square nose boat then they add 3-4" pipe to make the point looks dang good and highly recomended but it does not effect the ride

Pointed Bow and V bottom are not the same thing.

I am new to the site. I have a Brother Breaux 18x 48 pointed bow bateaux. The boat is currently at camo designs awaiting natural gear and hydroturf.

Nice lookin boat man!!

Hope this is what you are looking for!! Thanks, brother was easy to work with. I will update as soon as I get the motor and wire the boat.

like mentioned above, a pointed bow boat and a v bottom or semi v are two different things. better ride in rough water - thank the v bottom. as mentioned the pointed bow helps a lot when running through timber. also consider, with a pointed bow u lose about a foot of usable deck space. i have a pointed bow and like it. like the way it looks, dont run trees. if i had a boat built, i would prob get a reg straight bow because it just makes the deck bigger.

Chauncey you gots some serious shit on yer workbench. Nice boat. Far superior to mah Holer Kraft. I really like that pointed skiff in Aucoin's sponsor ad at the top of the page, anybody got one like that?

Those things look similiar to the Grumman sport boat or a flat back canoe, you could even make them look like a tug boat if ya would put more rake into them and hang a couple tires off the front.

Here's a pic of my pointed bow PD




I thought it came out looking pretty sharp.

Well I went the opposite direction and ordered a 18x52 GTB extreme hull and 35 GTR....but thanks for all of the info guys. I can't wait to get my boat it is my first mud boat...ready to get some stick time

B.ust !!!
O.ut !!!
A.nother !!!!
T.housand !!!!!



but ya nice boat !!!

Good lookin ride and the Nat gear kicks a$$. How'd you get them to do the nat gear pattern, Peck says they won't do anything else but the grass.

Prodrive only does one paint scheme... there's another guy in the area that does custom paint jobs like that. I suspect he did it, although I never talk to him, so I don't know. I think it's Camodesigns. Ask Peck how to get ahold of him when they build your boat. Also, ask Peck if Kevin Ledford might be interested in doing a custom camo job.

yeah when i visited there was a boat done in max4. camodesigns did it and it looked real sharp.
