:::::POLL:::::FEEDBACK ON BOAT brands- make mention of other boat name in a post

[Turd Ferguson]

Not sure if I can pull this poll off or not- sorry if I leave a brand off- make comments below if I did-

[Turd Ferguson]

Fiddle Fart- you can only select (1) worst boat- I wanted 2 picks on that one- I cant edit it

Yall post your gripes below and I will rework this thing later this AM- - let me know what to rework- additional questions- etc..

[buckshot1224]

good poll Turd.....I'll be interested in what the general consense will be

[Turd Ferguson]

what are the type of boats you guys are (checking) in other?

[rp]

I do not think the quaility of the old Duracrafts is the same since the new owner in 2006. I don't think they offer the same boat models either.

[Turd Ferguson]

surprised to see some people picking smaller motors for a all around boat-

I do not want to go shrimping with less than a 40-50-

[rp]

and most of us don't try to make a trawler out of a jon boat.

[Turd Ferguson]

only a (____________) would amount 40 quarts to a trawler!

[rp]

You stop at 40 qts? I figured you needed the storage for all your extra shkrimps.

I have seen a 24'er that had hand whinches and the works for trawling. They worked out of Edisto and went down toward Beaufort to do their trawling.

war eagle is kicking ass and taking names

[deadduck]

Was the first question, "Best all around boat for hunting, fishing fun etc?" Or was it best aluminum boat? I cannot remember and since I already voted I cannot see it again. If it is best all around boat I vote 18' Sea Craft CC with 140 HP engine, no t-top (BTW a t-top on a boat shorter than 23 feet looks bad. T-top height should really not equal or exceed 1/4 of the boats length.)and all the teak stripped off and replaced with starboard. But I am a coastal oriented fellow. If I had to go all over the state I would stick with my original selections in the poll.

I voted other cuz dey was all crap.... u couldn't give me a production hull out of dat list. Y'all need sum custom boat builders in SC in a bad way. lol

[KCM]

Yes we need custom boat builders or these folks just need to ride over to Louisiana and Arkansas, it could take a good week to visit all the custom shops over there. I will never own a production line boat again or at least my duck hunting rig will not be.

Legend Craft
Pro-Drive
Go-Devil
GatorTrax

You want a recycled beer can, then buy from your list. If you want a hull to last a life time, outboard or mud motor then buy from the above list. I am sure stump can add a few more to the list.

[Claimer]

KCM finally said something worth listening to. Now if he would stop wearing piano keys for teeth and picking his nose in public.

[woodie wacker]

Stump, I agree with you and we are working on that.

[stumpgrinder]

Brother Breaux, Charles Leanord, Ricky Aucoin, Sportsman Fab, Hanko's, Scully's, Gravois, etc.... not too mention most of da MM co.'s offer sum pretty rugged designs like KCM mentioned.

get off of sum of dat stale money y'all got and get a real boat built. lol

[hammerdown]

If you're looking for all hunt/fish/shrimp/ride nothing can beat the custom coastal bay boats. Custom ****, High Tide, Charleston Boat Works, etc. All have the deck on front (shrimping/fishing) and can take rough water far better than any of those aluminum hulls. Taken my '94 Bay Raider(old custom boat) to Rockville, Jetties, Nearshore Reef, etc. many a time. Maybe not so hot for the swamp with stumps involved but you make the call. If you mainly hunt salt water, probably best boat for the job. Just my .02 though...

[Turd Ferguson]

this poll was for aluminum boats- fiberglass creates a weight issue for most along with the stumps!
