Flats Boat Anybody?

Well I finally got my $10 part in from MERCURY, so up for sale my previous baby goes. I can persoanlly vouch for this boat being solid. I really like this boat, but I'm meant for the open ocean.

Looks good Ferm! I've got a buddy in Tampa that does a lot of flats fishing, I'll let him know about your boat.

If you can hold tight to what the cheap bastadges that will contact you before the serious ones, you will get your price.
THAT IS A DREAM.
How's about the draft? Any info on that?

Drafts about a 12-14 inch's off plane with me sitting down. If you have somebody stand up front it drafts alot less. Have verified that it will run through 10 inch's on plane and not even kick up much mud. Took it out today and showed it to a guy, but I think this one is a bit more boat than he wants. He had a grin from ear to ear though when I rolled into it. Had it up to 58.2 with him according to my fish finders paddle wheel sensor(speedo pegs at 55), then I took the admiral out for a ride afterwards and hit 59.2 with her on board and 59.7 with just me. If I run a little more fuel out I know I can hit 60

. Man I want to keep this boat, but I just don't use it that much(I'm scared to scratch it on the flats on a rock or oyster bar).

Nice job on your ad Ferm.

That is a nice boat......I'd buy it if I weren't dirt poor.

I've always thought that a flats boat would be good for me so I could use it at the coast AND bass fish out of it here at home.

I'll be getting my economic stimulous money soon, will you take $2100?

X4 and I'll take it for you buddy. The same guy that insulted me and then offered me $6K for it Emailed me back and asked me what my bottom line was. I don't understand some peoples way of negotiating.

Ferm, I bet you will get some real offers comming in with everyone getting their rebate check this week.

I'd reply to that guy "sorry, I don't deal with a$$holes".
