Tell me more about this flatboat business.
2 years ago I bought a kayak to be able to just get out on the water. Never inshore fished a day in my life before.
Spent $3k on the kayak, a nice 13.5’ Old Town with a trolling motor…spot lock etc.
Paid another $1500 (registration and taxes included) for a new kayak trailer from Tractor Supply.
So at $5k I was out on the water puttering around in a 4mph top speed kayak.
I’ve had some good times in it, don’t get me wrong. And it’s NOT breaking down on me constantly. If it does I can paddle.
But…
– As far as “fishing spots”, it’s one and done. All or nothing.
– I’ve still got all four kids at home, and I can’t really take them fishing with me.
– it’s so heavy I often just launch at marinas rather than on the side of the road somewhere.
Question: If you had $5k to spend on an inshore fishing vessel, what would you buy?
