Old Island Hwy Boat

[steel_dreamin]

Anyone know what the details are on the boat parked adjacent to the hwy in Black Creek is? Yard was locked up today and weather wasn't conducive to a long stop...

Looks like fish rite but guessing it might be a local build? Prob not a Wolfmade.

It could be an Aegir built boat. One of two that have been built so far. The second one is at the Vic boat show right now.

Does it look like the boat on this site?

That links routes me to a mobile site as I'm on my iPad. No pics.

Makes sense given the location. Beautiful boat. Would love to have a closer look and need to find some time to go back.

I think it may be a Jaxoncraft as I have seen one before in that neck of the woods. Here s there site to see if it looks like it might be one of theirs. http://www.jaxoncraft.com/

If it's the one behind the fence at the surplus/paintball shop Burnsy22 is right.

A friend has the second boat by by them. Built especially for fishing and it's a beaut. It has a different look to it but after a while you get used to it. I wouldn't hesitate to by one if I was in the market

Any real world experience? Forefoot looks to be "neutral" and wondering g how this design would operate for WestCoast application. Not many stringers in the hull and minimal outside reinforcement. Concave vs. convex, etc.

Currently running a TJ and very happy with it but considering other options as I'd like to start doing more comfortable overnighters. A 28fter is out as trailerability and logistics prevail. The 25 would be a sweet spot.

Real world experience? These boats are studs. Are you looking for something more suited to a commercial application?

And people wonder why this forums is always getting out of line and full of personal attacks instead of usefull info.

To be honest, at this point it is amusing...

Some people think they are too cool for school and if someone's personal opinion doesn't conform with theirs they are a "commie".

Opinions and knowledge change over time as information is gleaned through interaction and enhanced understanding. Same cant be said about asshats.

Here is the link to one that is for sale...I think it was one of their first ones and was used to guide out of. Looks like a tank to me. I think the owner has posted about it on this site before, or maybe a freind of the owner.

hull looks super but that Bimini top just looks so wrong
who was the person that fitted it as it spoils the lines of the boat
surely the way was to follow the rake of the screen so it looked like an extension rather than a retro fit

I was asking a question, most people would love this kind of boat, no?

You did say "stud" not dud.

Yup, you did, dripping with sarcasm.

But that seems to be the air of alot of posts lately, me included.
Spring can't come quick enough. IMHO

IMHO - I didn't see sarcasm in his post. I think guys here are just a bit on edge from some of the more obviously nasty posts that have flown around the hali issue. We just need to try to interpret posts in the most charitable possible way.
