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 Moni-Q is a 21 Kenner center console powered by a 150 HP Yamaha and equipped with 80 lb thrust Minn Kota trolling motor.
