One More Cast Boats

Last, but not least, we’re armed with a 21’ Special Edition Parker Center Console with a 150h/p Yamaha on the back. With a modified V and a recessed deck, this boat is the perfect vehicle for chasing false albacore, bonito and busting schools of stripers. But because of it's relatively shallow draft, and the Lenco Troll-N-Tabs, this is also a good boat for getting into some of Jamaica Bay's skinnier water. It's kind of a cross between the Maritime Skiff and the SeaCraft.

20’ Maritime Skiff

Maritime Skiff makes the premiere northeast flats skiff. It is beamy, drafts almost nothing, is an incredibly dry ride and rides surprisingly well in a short chop. This photo of Captain Danny fishing a shallow spot we call the West Bar was taken by managing editor Terry Gibson and appeared in the (edition) of Shallow Water Angler. I think it's a good snapshot of what this boat is capable of - getting into very shallow water, but able to handle the sometimes less than optimal conditions the Northeast can throw at us. This boat is also outfitted with the latest electric trolling motor technology and a leaning-post mounted platform for sight-fishing in even the shallowest of water. It’s powered by a quite and clean running 115 Suzuki four-stroke outboard…

21’ SeaCraft:

SeaCraft has a time honored tradition of smooth stable and fast deep-V style boats. Powered by a reliable 200 h/p Yamaha outboard, the boat is not only exceptionally fast, it goes right thought he big stuff in a rough sea. This boat has been customized for the saltwater flyfishing, and light-tackle enthusiasts with welded belly rails and Lenco Troll-n-Tab trolling motors. It's perfect for chasing inshore false albacore, and blitzing stripers, but it's also a great boat for making those offshore runs for skipjack and even Bluefin tuna.
