The FS12 has been a great boat, my boy and his friends have really enjoyed fishing and exploring the Intracoastal. Unfortunately I am running out of space and I am almost finished with my current build so I am going to list the FS12 for sale. If you know anybody that is interested in it please forward this thread. It has a 2018 Tohatsu 8hp with the upgraded carb making it a 9.8. Cruises nicely just over 20mph. I have an extra prop and the original carb as well. Less than 50 hours on the motor. Thanks, Chris. Please send me a PM and I'll send you my number. I plan on listing it officially next week.
Owner of a FS18, completed FS12.

My brother and I grew up doing exactly what your kids are doing. Mucking about the marsh and creeks in a small boat. Fishing, crabbing, clamming, collecting mussels. It was the basis for a lifelong passion.

Congratulations on some great builds and for getting the family involved. Best wishes to you as you right size your fleet. I haven’t figured out how to do that just yet. Got too many cars and boats at the moment.

Current build?
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

That's just awesome! Will that be launchable by your son off the bank like the FS12 or will he have his license by the time it's done?
