Re: NJ inshore suggestions?

The FS 19 that I built for my brother is used heavily in and around the southern Chesapeake Bay in Virginia and was used extensively for inshore fishing in Coastal Georgia before then. The Fast Skiff 17 & 19 were designed after the small boats used in the commercial fishing industry in the Mid A...

Re: Thinking about building a bay boat

The suggestion to build a model with the modifications that I have in mind is a great idea! Not thinking about the Carolina flare for spray reduction. The plan is to add spray rails and/or reverse chines to keep the spray in the bay. I just like the way it looks. Not planning on going crazy with the...

Re: Thinking about building a bay boat

Thanks guys for the variety of suggestions. Adding a layer of 12 oz biaxial inside and out seems like a relatively small thing to accommodate the 200 hp motor especially since I was already thinking that an extra layer would be needed on the interior under the fuel tank anyways. Now to spice things ...

Re: Thinking about building a bay boat

Reid and Tom, Thank you both for your responses. I appreciate your knowledge, help, support and encouragement and that is why I directed my questions towards y’all. This would be the 6th boat I’ve built and completed in the last 9 years, not all of which have been documented on this forum. I feel th...

Re: Thinking about building a bay boat

A 150HP would make a PH22 fly!!!

Re: Thinking about building a bay boat

Barraman, the MG 20 is no doubt an outstanding boat and the way you’ve adapted it and use it is the main reason why I have been considering it. It’s top speed is very alluring. After further thought, the narrower beam of the MG 20 is something I’m not sure will meet my needs. I want and need some ki...

Re: Thinking about building a bay boat

Looks like the Mangusta 20 draft is a little more than I’d like. The PH 22 might be the answer.

Re: Thinking about building a bay boat

My Egret 189 has a draft of about 11” and that is adequate for the type of use it will get. The Moccasin 210 is the boat I’m thinking of trying to emulate. I don’t intend to do any poling. Would have a trolling motor on the bow. The Egret has a poling platform that is rarely used and I would not put...
