Post Brother 1854 with 36 Prodrive pics added
The time finally came for me to make that long a$$ trip south and spend the weekend at Brother's fish camp. It was well worth the wait on this bateaux. This 1854, 3/16 bottom, 21" side, and smooth riding sob is exactly what I was looking for. The Prodrive 36 is stock other than Ricky's paint job.
The conditions were a little windy and choppy. In deep water with 3 people, gas, and gear (750 lbs) it ran 25.5 and 28 by myself. In the shallows I ran a solid 29 and hit 30+ a few times. IMO, Brother builds one hellofa boat. Had a great time hanging out and drinking a few with the guys down there. I still have a few things to add like the running lights and bilge pump but I'll be ready by season.. :D

Looks good as do all of Brother's boats.... Is that an aluminum gas tank under the front decK?

Love the Nat Gear paint. Did Camo Designs paint it?

Yea, Brother put a 16 gal aluminum tank under the extended deck. Ricky at Camo Designs also sprayed patches of Buck Brush over the Nat Gear to break it up some.

Just installed these kick a$$ LEDs. Bought them from cjhondaboy. They put out enough light to find anything at night. The catwalk keeps the lights from blinding you while driving.
