Please post pic and how you like it and do you go over land and logs and mud with it

I had a ribbed 15 ft express it sucked the ribs dragged on everything fom lillies to mud. go with a slick bottom.

Flat bottom is the way to go.

tommy u know better than to asked that question man i can tell u the worst thing is when u dri dock that puppy u anit just goin to wiggle and it come off lol experience is a bitch lol

My skiff is 19x42 and it has 3 corrigations in the bottom. It actually doesnt slow me down or hinder performance any way in mud or lillies. It turns on a dime too. I was worried bout that when I put the GTR on it but once I ran it, no problem. Ive been side by side with boats with no runners and thought they would out perform me but that wasnt the case. Only real difference Is I smoke em down curvy bayous cause I can turn without sliding.

Tenpoint.
That is because because you are a excellent captain.

i have a flat bottom and i wish i had runners sometimes when your sideways on those mudflats trying to turn

I had a ribbed boat. It turned good but it would get hung up on stumps n the swamp. I really like my skiff with a smooth bottom it is way better n the swamp.

I have a ribbed boat and I still slide in some turns, but probably due to it's weight.

Well ok I was looking at a excel 1651 swallow water

O

Death trap in the swamp, don't ask me how I know. Won't slide off nothing.

So I guess all the guys that are running ribbed boat don't have any to say I'm just try to find out I've had two slick bottom boat with mud motor and is there any .125 ga ribbed hulls just asking thanks for all the help

They have 1/8 and 3/16 boats that are "ribbed". Mine is 100 ga. I crawfish wit it and run anywhere I wanna go. It wont slide sideways off of a cypress knee bit it will continue to go forward or back off of it. I dont have any problems wit mine. And like I said in an earlier post, I can turn without sliding.

Thank you that what I'm asking Ive look for a 125 but I can't find any in like a 1652

Slick bottom is the only way to go if you are usin it like I do!

The ribs dont hurt you until you get on a hard bottom, stumps, or thick veggies. I hunt a lake that has stumps out the ass facin everwhichway and you can slide over them if you hit it sraight on but if you come up on one at a strange angle your hung up like a pair of beagle dogs.

In veggies they plow through instead of sliding over.

What makes you want a ribbed bottom boat?

It's cheaper for now
