Looks like a flats boat with a wood "wrap" on it.

Holy Crap... somebody has way too much time and money.

Tell that dude to get out of the shop and drown a worm some.

Not a wrap, hand painted.

Looks like it'd suck for fishing.

Yawn. Beautiful workmanship, chick magnet & everything. I’ll keep my old Lund Rebel.

Not a boat guy, but that is some FINE craftsmanship and artistry!

A lot of serious work there. Hasbeen

That's more like fine upscale furniture than a boat...

Beautiful work! That thing needs an inboard-outboard instead of that big honkin Mercury. I bet that thing will almost fly.

If that is wood that is some very fine craftsmanship. If it is painted it is very good artistry.

Either way that is a very fine looking boat.

I couldn't afford that boat. Beautiful!

Boats in general are bad-ass.

That takes bad-ass to a whole nother level...

Can you walk on that front deck when it’s wet?

Painted?

That's awesome work.

Not practical, but dam cool.

It’s made out of real panther parts, so you know it’s good.

I bet there is quite a bit of West System Epoxy protecting that wood


I see lots of awesome detail work in that boat
not for me but I sure can appreciate every inch of it

beautiful

quite a collection of Mercs there right now you sell every one in 5 minutes

I just went to the full set of pics on FB

WOW its even cooler than I thought
I was curious about the console
and its clean and neat with the Smartcraft gauges tied into the Simirad and the zero effort controls

What an awesome piece

You're saying that was painted to look like wood?

That semi custom design-build boat company is highlighted on “The Florida Sportsman” on YouTube. Been a fan for many years. It’s amazing what that shop does. Check em out when hunting season is over!

The faux Teak technique has been around for 10 - 15 years now.

A friend has a kayak and rowing shell crafted in that style. Real wood artfully assembled.

very nice! looks alot like mine. Maybe a little different.

Frankly don't see the attraction. Can't fish off the deck, getting wind-whipped and eating bugs at speed, limited seating.

Pretty to look at, but nah.

Well, I just got done smearing all the rivet heads on the bottom and sides of my '73 18' flat bottom Jon (Lowe) boat with a silicon sealant.. Now maybe I won't have to work the little bilge pump I installed 5 years ago so often.

So there! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My boat is just plain ugly, but if it floats..... I gloats.

It sure is pretty. But how does she fish?

I don't even see a sonar screen?

Flats boat with no tabs? Seems odd to me unless they didn’t reinstall after the paint. Hull must have a lot of hook built in.

I’m working on a little 16’ Jon boat with ‘96 25hp Johnson I picked up for $700 on a gamble I could get it to run. Only 4 or 5 slightly leaking rivets and I got the motor running with new plugs and a carb clean, missing a couple non-essential parts that I have ordered for $60. I’ll probably enjoy this boat more than the 22’ bay boat with 250 hp and all the goodies sitting in the driveway…sometimes simple is better
