 18-48 Aucoin Skiff w/ Lil' Daddy edition PD 32
Boat: 18-48 ft Aucoin Skiff Motor: 32 PD w/ lil' daddy mods i cant express enough how well pleased i am with the way this boat turned out. Rick knew exactly what i wanted, and is very enthused with his work. he went above and beyond my expectations. my pawpaw also commended him on a hell of a job To the Aucoin Fab guys: rick, kurtis, & travis-- they do hell of work in whatever they do. i would not hesitate to get ANYTHING fabbed up by them, wether it be boat, iron work, anything metal fabrication these boys got it going on. To The Pro Drive clan: great customer service, peck and KP came out n checked out my skiff and peck was helpful in choosing the painting method. To lil' daddy n Gator Tail: hoyt really also takes pride in whatever he does, walked me step by step in what to look forward to out of my motor, and the precautions to take. Kyle was very helpful also in tellin me even more prep work to do that often others dont do. for that i thank him At This time, i would like to say, i know im fixn to get a million questions asked on why Rick built my boat, as he quit building boats. I have a commercial fishing license, i registered my boat commericaly, and under the commercial crawfish enterprise operation name. True, anyone with a commercial license may be able to buy the boat, and then it would be out of ricks hands, and he could build the boat, but in all actuality, who would keep the license yr by yr as it is kind of expensive for some folks. Rick knew that i will always have my license yr by yr, just in case somehting ever was to happen down the road. for that, i thank him for his friendship and trust in me to go up and beyond. i hope everyone understands that. Here is the link to the pics of my boat.. http://s34.photobucket.com/albums/d149/jus10inla/Skiff/

Looks good Justin, make sure you get a mount for your GPS on that grab bar.  I will second that on the service you get from PD GT and Aucoin. Now put some paint on her and let it rip.
