Ideal Flowage Fishing Boat
Wondering what you guys consider the ideal fishing rig for the TFF?
What do you currently run?
I've got a 1962 Alumacraft FD-6 with a 1985 Johnson 25HP shortshaft tiller, and I could not be happier! I'm also partial to the Grumman Sportboats for the TFF.
Yes, but 8 times as likely to hit a stump!
That's actually a real boat. Here's an article about the court case involving the British boatbuilder. Apparently they were selling them to drug smugglers for runs between Morocco and Spain, and the company was also being used as a front for money laundering. The article shows a couple other pictures of the boats, and one shows it turning. The outer engines look like they're ventilating a bit, but the hull bottom is pretty flat so it doesn't bank as much as you might expect.
Looks like fun, if you can afford the gas bill - the article says it burns about 900 liters (238 gallons) per hour at WOT! I'll stick with mine - just as fast on less than 1/10 the gas. And can you imagine the electric trolling motor you'd need to hold that thing in a stiff wind?
