I wouldn't hesitate to run a .100 boat if I was in clear marsh with nothing but grass, mud, and shallow water to worry about.
Until then, I'll keep beating around in my .190 hull

I'm shopping for a small mud rig for trapping. I don't see myself doing a lot banging around in wood/stumps. Rather, I need something suited for shallow water and weeds. Should I even consider a .100 hull? |

It would be fine if you didn't hit any stumps/logs. No need in any thicker bottom. Should last a long time if taken care of! Sent from my beeper |

The .100 hall has cross bracing. Cross bracing is bad news did shallow water riding. It is really easy to hook a boat with cross bracing. However, those boats will work on mud motors. Many people use them. I just sold my rig with .100 aluminum. It worked fine for me. I decided to get a bigger and better boat with 1/8th and different bracing. If your budget allows I suggest getting a boat designed for a mud motor. If you need to get a .100 boat to ride in for a while it will work. Just make sure not to dent the bottom. |

I'm considering a Phowler Light Jon 1640 or 1740. |

The lite Jon's aren't even .1 if i remember correctly. I think they are .090, maybe even .08 |

I stand corrected. I'd say go for it. I have heard nothing but good things about phowler boats. Both on the product side, and customer service |

Phowler does not mention bracing on the lite hall. However, it is .100 grain built with a stronger grade aluminum than traditional jon boats. The boat looks like it it built well on the website. Made for surface drive motors up to 27hp. |

What kills me is when people say .100 gauge. It's not gauge it's just thickness. Gauges are 16 ga, 18 ga, 20 ga, etc. Sent from my beeper |

You are correct. It is thickness. You are correct I said grain instead of thickness. You are the smartest man alive and I am a dumb ass. You are the man and I am not. You are the most intelligent guy on mud motor talk. I wish I could be like you. Oh and until next time, Go Fuck Yourself!!!!!! |
