  • Popular Boats Trough The Years

    In the beginning there was the Whaler, Grady White, Mako, and Proline. The first Texas boats I remember were the Helton's.
    The first flats boat that I remember everyone had to have was the Shallow Sport, then the Majek. Next was the Tran, and Parker. There was the poling skiff craze, and now the Haynie.
    There are others I left out, but I'm sure others will have their recollections and list.

                I think there is something wrong with me. All I have ever wanted was a welded 16' extra wide.
                May change it up a little this spring though.

                  I havent fished one, but I did meet/talk to a guy poling the flats while we were wading that was on one. He had a nice rig! Like I said, I have never been in one, but it looked like a sweet boat! (I found out that he goes by SKIFFSTIFF on 2cool)

                        Skipjack the days before people were worried about running skiny and tearing up the flats.

                            ROBALO goes in the early days of fine made boats.

                            Skiffstiff is my neighbor and he is a flyfisherman with his skiff. A buddy of mine had a Hewes-he HATED it-wet and not that shallow.

                            I would say the Majek has been around a long time, but what about the Victoria made old POWER CAT Boats-made from 1959 till the 70's.
                            "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.
