wanted to show yall a boat youve never seen.
 

This is a 16' Delta Craft...60" wide. Its rated for a 70 max.


Now for the fun part they quit making it about 5 or so years ago. Its perfect for rivers...mobile bay...rig fishing...etc...

Its currently in at my house and belongs to a good friend that is going thru a divorce.

They made them locally and are in very high demand. They stopped building them and this boat will get 45to5g easy in my area. X

Purdey fer sure

I likey!!!!!

Nice, Looks like a amesbury skiff in this area, CB had one for a while.

they used to build "High Tide" boats around here, very similar boat to the type you posted. they closed up shop a few years ago. The hottest boat of that type around here is the Bentz Craft, there weren't many built, and they bring a premium among locals

looks a lot like a Stumpknocker, built down south.

stink, i thought you were going to have a pic of a Stauter

I love skiffs like that...wonder why the folks who make em cant ever stay in business?

I remember the High Tide...one of those or the one like stink pictured would be great inshore fishers!!..fuel economy out the wazoo!...

Actually it's quite different from an Amesbury Skiff. The AS is only rated for a max of 25hp and has a flat bottom.

the Bentz craft is the ticket, I've had duck hunters tell me thye were the best duck boat ever made. I've seen people run thru [puddles of water keeping them on plane. They were designed and built by Earl Bentz's (Stratos, Javelin bass boat fame) cousin. They have a pad bottom and have lot of fishabillelity for the size. If you find one around here that's in good shape, they bring a premium

heres a 16 with a 90 on it up for sale http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa...356&acctid=685
