Re: Workboat vs Yacht Finish

There have been plenty of both built so it is sort of 50/50 and depends on your preference. Both have advantages and d...

Re: Fishing Boat for 4

18' 8' beam First two advisements Unless you want to pole shallow water? Unfortunately no shallow water to pole in Oklahoma. The boats on my list that get close to your recommendation are the PH18, OB19 and salt boatworks 18. I think the wider beam would be nice to have for passengers and swimming ...

Re: Fishing Boat for 4

Need more detail about seakeeping. Where fishing? Updated original Post Will be used in lakes around Oklahoma and Texas, possibility of future move to north Florida, Carolina’s or Jersey but that’s long term. We just recently moved from Naples and sold our skiff, we should have brought it with us.

Can anyone point me to a thread or threads discussing the difference between a work boat and yacht finish? And if possible the process for obtaining a workboat finish and if that could eventual...
