18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau
3/16" bottom
1/8" 21" sides
Extended deck
Catwalks
Square chine

Boat runs 31mph deep water with a modded PD (heads, cam, carb, exhaust, and high rev coils), and with a 3-4 man hunting load with dog and gear im running around 28. With a load the boat turns on a dime. Unloaded the boat floats in ankle deep water, very shallow drafting boat. Brother builds a fine hull, this is my 3rd one and I'm sure it wont be the last.

Hey Med .

That's a real nice boat, post up some more pics dic!

6 2x2's?

how big is that gas tank up front

i like it

The tank has a deal so you can wire up a fuel gauge, doubt I will ever get that far though, seein as I can just look at the tank and see how much fuel I have. lol

thanks. I really like the boat to. it not all cluttered up with useless shit

I agree, that boat couldent get much nicer unless it was full of naked chicks and beer.

You have trim tabs or something? What is that?

Pull hooks.

On the bottom????

I bet it's a piece of solid bar welded from the transom to the trim tab so he can strap the motor down

They are the same as the other hooks above them that you use to strap the boat to the trailer, and I use them to strap the motor down. The hooks are placed so that the strap goes over the frame of the motor, and not the lower unit.

Good thinking

I know yall like my Hydroturf layin skills...Theres a seam running down the middle of the front deck.

brother builds a bad arse boat.

looks good!

Nice rig!!

What are you asking for it? lol

awesome...looks great

6750$

lol

Does this boat have "Performance Crimps" on the sides?

Do they improve performance any? If so what?

Is it better than the other hull designs of the boats brother normally builds?

I know Owen has had both or I think he has.... What do you like better?

I like the looks of these sides better, but Brother said the other style crimp is stronger, and with Brother wanting everything to be as tough and strong as possible, I had twist his arm to use those sides, lol. Cuz he knows I can F shit up!

hahaha yeah i saw the pictures of your old skiff and you sure know how to f*** up the sides.

I like the looks of this better too but if brother says it stronger than im sure he is right. Can you see a differences in speed or anything with these sides? Also what do you like better your skiff of the flat?

I liked my skiff for running through thick shit, but I like my flat because with the big deck I can lay drake blinds across the front of it. Honestly if I wasn't married I wouldnt have sold my skiff, I would have kept it AND bought the flat and put a GTR on it. But if I'm just gonna have one boat, it's gonna have a PD hangin off the back.

I don't feel like there is a difference in speed or anything, I think it's just personal preference.

Ok so you just opened up a can of worms..... Why the GTR and what keeps you from having a one on your boat now.
I am very undecided in motors right now.
Don't mean to jack your post, if you like ill send you a pm

Because I don't run mud and I feel like the PD is a tougher unit and performs just as good as the other brands in my area, and has always gotten me where the birds are. I have personally towed in 6 belt drives, and never once had a rope tied to me. That's all I'm gonna say about it, I'm sure some other brand owner would like to throw in their 2 cents, but I would like to keep this thread focused on Brothers boats.

Works for me.....

Very nice boat like any he builds, also like the paint

good thinking putting those tie downs in the perfect spot for that new mudbuddy with reverse.
