I have a silly question for the guys who own this boat that might be here. First off I love the boat and the concept of a BBSB that is a more traditional design yet all glass and a planing hull. I also have the outboard and brand new trailer for one of these...
I have a challenge in that I hunt alone during my vacation time (usually 2-3 weeks) but I do have a 14 y/o son who guns with me on Saturdays. This is all me when I'm running alone, and honestly I have no reason to run a bigger boat and have to hide it when the boy isn't with me.
I would love to have one of these boats but can't see having two rigs (this and a two man set up). I feel bad limiting the kid to paddle only spots so I'm wondering...
How practical is it to load decoys and other non essential gear into a pond box and put the the boy/myself and the dog in the boat for transport to and from the gunning location (sometimes 2-3 miles). I realize, of course, that I will have to go slow too and from with the pond box in tow.
at 465 lb capacity we are right there if not a little over...
5 1/2 ft cockpit sounds tight...
I want one of these like a teenage boy at a cherrleeding competition but I wonder if I'm short changin the kid or setting up a potentially dangerous situation...
Looking for input.
