On the boat in the original post, on the seats, is that the old Civil Defense logo?
As far as turning it, Can You say Bow Thrusters!

I don't know for sure, but I've got an Uncle that will! US Navy Vietnam Vet. I'll ask.

Ok guys! My Uncle says, "Civil defense. This was a government rescue boat to be used in floods ect."

So there ya go Steve. You were right. =D>

I copied the pic and posted on my fb page. Our son-in-laws and several of their friends think we all need one of these! Where is it located?

Thanks for sharing.

I was snooping around on Alweld's web site the other night and noticed they'll build all the way up to a 28'

Can you imagine a 2836? If you bungeed yourself to the seat you probably could do kayak rolls with it.

I've always had 14/48 boats but got a wild hair and bought an 18/60. I ended up hating it. It was a lot of trouble to launch in some small lakes I fish and it seemed like it took 15 minutes to get from the tiller motor to the trolling motor.

I bet that dude was stable though, being that wide! Might as well to have just gone on and bought a regular bass boat.

I think one of these 22 footers would be fun and the novice of it would be hysterical, but I bet it would be hard to maneuver. just sayin......

Like Steve said, "Bow Thrusters"! :LOL2:

I love that boat just think of the decking possibilities.... And storage... Yeah buddy I have a 1236 so space is TIGHT but a 2236 I could basicly move in I wonder how it would handle large waves .. Think it flexes any??

neat thing about those long boats is that on waters that have a small limit of fish, like around here you can keep 5 per person, you can take 4 or 5 people and keep 20 or 25 fish.

Up North in Michigan they have a unique boat called the Au Sable River Boat that was originally used during the logging days. Later fly fishermen used them. There are still quite a few around.

A similar looking boat was developed and used in Arkansas.

That one looks like a river boat.

BTW: they are quite stable. In nautical engineering, doubling the length of a boat has the same effect as doubling the width.

If the one in the ad is 22' long it can't be much more than 32" wide at the bottom by my measurements.
