re: Poling skiffs in Louisiana
Posted by Elusiveporpi on 3/22/24 at 7:26 am
One other thing. Since you say you really won’t be poling, usually the main shallow water restriction is the trolling motor. The normal trolling motor prop needs about 10.5-11” of water to operate.
On my 24v minkota, I swapped the prop with a 4 hp plastic outboard prop with a 6.5 inch diameter. M...

My dad’s 16 Carolina skiff floats super skinny. Only issue is it’s loud in ripples.
I would find a pointy front boat shaped something like a Pierre Part skiff.

2012 and It had around 800 hrs. I took it apart and found a cracked head. Looks like that’s a 4k fix. Hopefully I can fix then sell. The SHO’s don’t have a good rep on the internet. I need to find out if it’s worth more for parts vs paying to fix and then sell. ...

Thanks, that’s the info I was looking for. I just didn’t want to sacrifice looks to possibly not save anything.
This is the style home I’m looking to build which does have pretty simple lines.

Another question I had was does simplicity really translate to a lower cost house? For example, if a roof is not complicated, I know it will be faster to build and possibly less material, but does that translate into saving for me, or will the subs mostly suck that up in there pricing as profit for...
