He just sold that fine ass skiff he built for himself. You going with a bateau or a skiff? Either way, he'll make you one happy customer.

Sounds like one hell of a set up. Having issues with your mad man? Or are you just trying something a little different?

I'm got a quote from Rickey last week also, I plan on him having my deposit by the end of this week or early next week.

No problems with the mad man I love the boat butch built. I wish I would have done some different things as yall can tell in my previous post lol. I came across rickey's page on fb and his work looks amazing and he got a great reputation. Want to check him out before I make up my mind on the builder. Will deff between him and butch. But as yall can tell I'm going all out on this next build and I don't plan on getting another boat for a very long time, if ever lol

What's Rickey's FB page?

Atchafalya designs. He's restarting his business and starting to build boats full time again and him and his wife do professional outdoor photography

Have always liked the look of his boats

I'm want something that stands out and is different and I feel as if he would be the best at trying to achieve this for me

You were supposed to look at mine Saturday.
I have a 20x48 bateau 3/16 bottom 1/8 sides. I love this boat.
I dont know what it is but his boats have some fine lines.

My boats at his house now geting some modifications

IV heard good things about his boats but I have not seen one. Anyone have a pic of one of his boats ?

Isnt that dang near exactly what you have already? Cant imagine goin through all the hassle and waiting to get a boat thats so similar to one i already had. I do love rickeys boats tho. Im gonna try to meet with him this next week or so an leave a deposit for one

who else is selling a 19x48 custom boat to get a 19x48 custom boat

I wasn't trying to be a dick, im just curious. Like I said im pretty dead set on having rickey build me a boat and am just still doing all the research I can. Pretty sure im gonna have a 19x50 built or maybe 20x48. Im gonna ask rickey what he thinks about the differences as far as cost/stability/maneuverability. Pretty positive im going 3/16 too. Do you have any dents on the 1/8 bottom? Is your current boat stable as far as running around inside it when frogging or running lines

Yeah I hear ya. Whatever size I have built, im definitely gonna ask him to flare it out good and have the rake come up kinda high so it will hopefully ride good and dry. Not to mention I think it looks nice. Im going to have to sit down and talk in person and decide on all the details about size an whatnot

Rick is an artist, and he builds a fine boat.

Didn't have a screen name back then. Just heard about it at the shop and I would tune in.

Also about the same time when this forum was an informational site and not a (well you fill in the blank).
Also check out the fun that was available to everyone.
