I haven't been thrown out... I have been spun around and almost swamped one time trying to pass a crew boat that didn't know I was behind it. Lesson learned for me... Take it really easy on those and head on (perpendicular) as possible to distribute the wedging action evenly,


Sent using Morse Code from my not so smart phone.

The way it was described to me is like how the front of a kneeboard will catch a wave in rough water and submarine the front down.

A boat with a narrow front and long point like mine does pretty good in green timber, a skiff isn't much more pointed than my rig. You could do it without that hideous climbing point everybody seems to hate too!!

Thanks 270....that's it. I sure do like rolling down the bayou in that thing! Looks like it was a little foggy that night??

wpevey and da go get'er have some super cool looking 17-38 kliebert boats. i took a road trip to visit ward and checked out his boat. long and skinny, 1 of the coolest looking boats i have ever seen. i want to build something like it for the river running through the shoals

The weldbilt crawdad is kind of a skiff/bateau hybrid. I wish I could have one made with a 3/16 bottom and longitudinal stringers, the design would be perfect for what I run

For real? Could you build me one if it turns out good? I've currently got a boat drawn up with a builder but nothing is set in stone and I'm still exploring other options.

Nobody said it yet?

Skiffs are da devil.
