1860 - Bass Fisher
|
This was boat was built for Allen Findley in Flint, TX, right down the street from the WC Custom Boats Shop.
Allen is a big time bass fisherman and wanted something he could primarily bass fish out of in the stumpy areas of lake palestine and not have to worry about punching a hole in his fiberglass boat. He also wanted a boat that could still be a good duck hunting boat if he decided to do that. This boat is actually based off of a Triton/Crestliner Ambush Series boat but with lots of changes and extras! Specs: 18' Long (19.5' with the Point) 60" Wide 3/16 Thick Bottom 24" Tall 1/8 Thick Sides Double Tapered Chine 9 - 2x2 Longitudinal Braces 4 - Main Cross Braces Side Console Driven Rear Hunt Deck Full Raised Floor Full Floatation 36" Rear Deck - Rear Compartment for Batteries - 2 Side storage Compartments - Middle 30 Gallon Insulated Livewell 60" Front Deck - Recessed Trolling Motor Pedal Tray - Gun / Storage Box with 20 Gallon Fuel Tank inside Long Rod / Gun Box Down Port Side Small Storage Box in front of Console on Starboard Side Rear Fold Down Bench Seat - Custom Covered Realtree Hardwoods Camo Hydraulic Steering Lowrance HDS 5 Depth Finder on Console Atlas Hydraulic Jack Plate Minn Kota Fortrexx 80lb Thrust 24v Trolling Motor Interior Red Strip Lights Black Hydroturf Custom Realtree Hardwoods Camo EZ Trac Aluminum Tandem Axle Trailer with Surge Brakes Boat Testing: We first had a Stage 2 Modded 35hp Gator-Tail on this boat for running in the stumpy areas. With 3 people (200, 200, 140) 20 gallons of fuel, 3 batteries, light fishing gear this boat would run 24 - 25 mph. Allen couldn't get used to going that slow so he ended up putting a 115 2 ProSX Mercury 2 stroke Outboard on the back. With a full 4 man fishing load and 20 gallons of gas and 3 batteries this boat still runs right at 50mph. |
