 My prodigy 1854 fishtail
couldn't be more pleased with the boat. Ran 3 guys, kid, 90 pound lab, and a bunch of camping gear really well. Didn't have an opportunity to get speeds, but it got on plane quickly . Going to be hooking up the battery charger and duck blind this weekend, get her all ready for duck season. I couldn't imagine not having all the storage that it does, it's nice to keep all those miscellaneous things packed away and dry. This is my first mud motor, and I was really excited to see what it would go through. I did get it stuck momentarily, found that I need at least 4 inches of water to keep her going. Anybody fixing to build a boat should definitely have cat walks, worth their weight in gold. Here are some pics, more to come.

 Re: My prodigy 1854 fishtail
I think it's one the most well rounded states for an outdoorsman, got huge whitetail, ton of Tom's, and some of the most memorable duck hunts I've ever been on. Gettin a goose spot is as easy as cake unlike Colorado. Good folks and pretty country there....that's why I bought land and joined a duck club there!

 Re: My prodigy 1854 fishtail
I'm in Kansas City and love it here. I don't think I'll ever move, the duck hunting is amazing. Did you drive to Prodigy's shop to pick up your boat or was it delivered? More pics please!

Was a Blackhawk mechanic at Fort Bragg in a previous life. Work at a bank in Overland Park. Spend a lot of time south of here but venture up that way once in a while

 Re: My prodigy 1854 fishtail
Hey Dr., do you think you would have had enough room to put a 3rd chair there in the middle? I got pretty much the same setup (should have next weekend) and was curious about the 3rd seat. Mine is 17 ft. Know it's too late to go back but was just curious as to what you were seeing with yours.

 Re: My prodigy 1854 fishtail
I know you can't see it in this picture but I do have a third seat, the one by the tiller I have to run without once I get to where I'm going I put it in, you should be able to pull it off in a 17 foot
