Post Joined the flat bottom club.
So I finally joined the flat bottom Club.
At the end of duck season last year I found a 12ft rivited flat bottom aluminum boat for a song.
In context these type of boats are quite rare, there was never a market for them.

So after nearly a year in my garage fixing the transom with new rectangle section and fixing the leaking rivits, I gave it a paint job ready for opening.

Walker are you going to use this flat boat for the salt water crayfish?

I just watched a show about the crayfish operation down your way. Really cool. I could not understand what they were saying but interesting fishery for sure.

Yes. One of the outdoor channels is running the show now. I remember seeing the series on another network a couple years ago. They run some stout boats.
