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.

http://www.iboats.com/13-Gallon-Permane ... _id.470025 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 |

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. |

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

| Post subject: | Re: 18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau |
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? |
|
| Author: | OwenDickeson [ Mon Feb 13, 2012 2:14 pm ] |
| Post subject: | 18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau |
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! |

| Post subject: | Re: 18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau |
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? |
|
| Author: | OwenDickeson [ Mon Feb 13, 2012 2:50 pm ] |
| Post subject: | 18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau |
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. |
|
| Author: | OwenDickeson [ Mon Feb 13, 2012 2:51 pm ] |
| Post subject: | 18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau |
I don't feel like there is a difference in speed or anything, I think it's just personal preference. |
|
| Author: | coyote29 [ Mon Feb 13, 2012 2:53 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: 18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau |
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 |
|
| Author: | OwenDickeson [ Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:01 pm ] |
| Post subject: | 18x4 Brother Breaux Bateau |
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. |
