BOATS

The Shore Thing is a 23 center console powered by a 225 HP Yamaha 4 stroke outboard and equipped with a 110 lb. thrust Minn Kota trolling motor. The boat has a simple single deck layout and higher sides than that of a bay boat. Her wide Carolina bow helps keep you dry and comfortable for rides across open water yet the boat only draws 12" of water to allow us to fish the shallow ponds and marshes. The boat is fully equipped with all safety equipment, and a full compliment of electronics including VHF radio, AM/FM/CD player, and GPS/Chart plotter.

The new 23 Hydra Sport Bay Bolt, Lady Margot, is a roomy comfortable fishing platform. She boasts 3 tournament live well, as well as a raw and fresh water washdown. Padded seating in the both the front and rear make for a very safe and relaxing ride.In addition to the USCG required safety gear she has a VHF. The 250 yamaha four stroke can push her in speeds up to 50mph. With a hydraulic jack plate and 101lb thrust trolling motor, the Lady Margot is still able to fish and run in about a foot of water.
