![]() "Bob La Londe" wrote in messageSNIP I'ld have to say that glass boats certainly have their place. I have two of them, (The Skeeter is for sale) but a well rounded TV show might need to be open to possibilites that aren't necessarily your own. You might consider other options. An aluminum jet would be the perfect boat in some circumstances. I love my Baker tunnel hull, but I just ordered a Waco 16 for back water running myself. If you could have balanced that out with the potential sponsor you might have been able to offer more and serve more useful information to more viewers. JMHO. I do understand your view, and I agree with you. I'm just not sure that you shouldn't be open to other possibilities in your base choice about glass boats. Oh, I'm not saying that I won't ever film a show from anything other than a glass boat. That's not it and if circumstances warrant a change, i.e. sturgeon fishing on the Snake River, or fishing some remote backwater, I'll certainly use what is appropriate. But, much of what I'll be doing can be done from a glass boat. I might have to reconsider my choices and go with more of a multi-species boat. The ultimate would be to get a sponsor that has both a glass and aluminum line of boats and get one of each! Any offers? :-) -- Steve OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

I know of lots of aluminum boats, but can think off hand of only one that has a jet boat setup for fishing. They have both. In fact I considered buying one earlier this year. -- The Security Consultant http://www.diycomponents.com Bob La Londe - Owner 849 S Ave C Yuma, Az 85364 (928)782-9765 ofc (928)782-7873 fax |

They're all over wherever you have a rocky river Bob, especially in the
northland. I had a jet on my aluminum rig for a few years, fun toy. They work especially well on aluminum tunnel-drives.
