Got my first mud rig in the water this weekend. Everything went well. Sunday Taffey and I picked up a few nice channel cats and shot our first video. It was nothing hardcore, but the boat is going to work out super. Hunting ducks will be very different this season.
It's an almost new Phowler 16X48 with a Prodrive 27 hp (with manual reverse). It had 14 hours on it when purchased plus a "few more" now.
A month ago, I took it to Illowa Marine and had an extended deck and transom step installed. I added a bunch of other "stuff" to make it even more user friendly. Taffey likes the Hydo Turf and a Bimini makes it really comfortable for a dog (me too). We can find some shade when out in the heat. With the gas tank and battery now up under the covered deck, it makes for a clean, open look with plenty of room. This boat is a gem
