I was not trying to piss in anyones cherrios, if it were my $$ and for the kind of fishing I do, it is not for me. I know the Breaux's and Neuville's and they build great boats, all out of Aluminum. Jimmy also has built some great boats but you can't really call them Bayboats, they are more suited for close in fishing. 4500 # with motor is extremely heavy IMO but to each his own. I will admit, that they sure can take a lickin and keep on tickin.

no tinkle in my cheerios at all man.......

I still drool over them glass boats.....I just like the idea of tying up at the dock and not spending twenty minutes with bunkers to keep the scratches off.

70 in a bay boat!!!!!????!!! standing up......with no gas pedal???

and I was accused of being nuts with my Bullets and Allisons back in the day!!

I'll bet that's a blast though............LOL

I used to look forward to going to Fourchon for work just so I could catch a glimpse of that thing when it was trailered at Moran's

DEAR RAYMOND,

I am not trying to get onto a pessing match here, I know that YELLOWFIN makes a very fine boat, and I do mean very fine, but it is a shallow draft type of boat. If you think you could follow this hull in the GOM with a Yellowfin, I would have to say your are grossly mistaken. I do realize that once you would get inshore the YELLOWFIN would be the speed king. Now here in LOUISIANA I couldn't imagine spend 85K on a boat to speed in the shallows. JMHO

P.S. I know you said you have a friend with an aluminum boat that is full of problems, even if that is true what does that have to do with this hull. Remember " CHEAP MEAT AIN'T GOOD, AND GOOD MEAT AIN'T CHEAP."

Real old thread but i love this boat.

[bayouchub]

They are the only people that i know of that can build a 7000lb v-hull 20 degree deadrise boat that drafts "14 inches". Lol

I agree, but the back deck is too small I think.

You can direct them to whatever you want......

The boat is actually "made" by a guy in Prarieville.

Then Alex rigs them...........

And I can honestly say, his rigging is simple spectacular.
I am strongly considering begging him to rig the 'Simplepeddler" when we do an upgrade..........four years from now

I'm pretty sure i went to school with alex... i'm impressed, very nice boats!

Yup. I researched these boats a while back when I first saw one in grand isle. I actually talked to a captain down there that guides out of an American marine. Definitely a awesome boats but too far out of my price range.
