Re: Want new hull
Jimmy white marsh master is a nice boat. I used to ride a predator which is pretty much a cottonmouth widened out and I love the marsh master.
I do all my own stunts!!!!!!
Re: Want new hull
1 is alum and the other fiberglass got to decide which 1 u want, but its hard to beat a stossel when it comes to running the woods.

Re: Want new hull maybe stossel what ya think let me hear fr
If I was building a boat to hunt an was wanting to run a bunch of bushes & dry I would build a stossel or a (palm beach) style hull. I've owned a couple of them with 540's on them an could run dry all day with 2-3people. My opinion they can't be beat in the woods it just all depends on what your gonna mostly do with it. They aren't very good in deep water.

Very true Tommy, Al and Benny build nice boats and I know Al's boats will hang with Stossels in the woods.

Re: Want new hull maybe stossel what ya think let me hear fr
Al David builds a hell of a sled style. Boyd stossel is building the real deal stossel in west palm at legends airboats. Mike stossel is building the real deal in geneva, I believe welded or riveted. Lots of good choices but the last thing if build a hunt boat out of is fiberglass?? If it suits your style of hunting, fiberglass could save you about 6 grand...

Re: Want new hull maybe stossel what ya think let me hear fr
I ran a 14' Gilileo for many years and loved it, however I always wanted a Palm Beach since I was a kid! Dave Simpson built me a wide bottom Palm Beach hull (13'.6" X 7'10") and I really like it. I hunt, frog and ride in deep water and have no problems.
The Stossel's and Dave Simpson due a fine job building hulls in my opinion. Dave was the only builder at the time I found that was willing to build a wide bottom hull like I wanted.
Just my two cents

Al has built a couple wide bottom WB style boats and what difference that make in the water.
