Thx guys, that’s a mock up of the artwork overlayed onto a stock pic. He wasn’t sure which boat I was getting so he overlayed it on a 13’ Sniper, mine will be a 15’ Aftermath HD. But that’s pretty much what it will look like, I’m pumped. I love the map of the ABC.
Harry, I’m either having it delivered or having my buddy Doug (Lives in Kalamazoo Michigan.) drag it out here when he drives out in April for a couple ski weeks. Hopefully see you in Boblandia one of these days…
You can practice running red creek with my boat before you pop that cherry with the new hoopty.
Awesome Bob! You’re gonna dig the Afertmath.

You gotten it on the water and a lil dinged up since the polyurea was applied? on the fence about putting it on my skinny skiff order.Quote:

Another addition to the Stealthcraft crew: non-mag Josh attended 4/20 at Boblandia and was really impressed with both Bob’s and jcpm’s Stealthcrafts, so he called up Mike and bought one.Quote:

That thing looks rad. I'm very much in raft country but I could see myself using one of those. Are they smaller than traditional drifters?

That one is regular size, 16 feet, just a blunt nose to make the casting platform. Works very well around here, but I wouldn’t want it on a bigger river like Telee’s south fork.Quote:

anyone have experience with their rafts?
looking for something that can float shallow/skinny water, hold 3 people, and self bailing.
I know of the flycraft stealth x and nrs.. but im not sure if nrs approach is 3 person compatible nor self bailing
spent a lot of time in a buddy's hooligan. gets skinny no doubt and rows well. the rubber is absolutely bomber. his is not self bailing however.
best combo of self bailing and ridged walkable floor going... big tubes for high float.

I know 2 different pro Musky guides who use Stealthcraft rafts. Both seem real happy with them. I don’t know any details though. Both also have hard side Stealthcrafts for guiding bigger water though.Quote:

We floated the PM, I rowed more than half, wanted to see how it handled. I was impressed. The PM is a twisty, snaggy, treed, river, you’re pretty much always on the sticks. His was the larger version but still was easy to pilot. I didn’t have any trouble pivoting it around the multiple snags and bars.
I have no opinion on fast water as it was pretty chill. The bottom seemed solid, and the braces inspired confidence. I’d give it a thumbs up.
