Suicide Machine


Individualized and localized boat design is what seperates boats from most every other manufactured goods. If you live and fish in the southeastern backwaters or in the Gulf of Mexico, then Hewes, Mavericks and Pathfinders are perfect. For those of us who are in the Northeast where if the lighting (wind) don't get you, then the thunder (tides) will, these boats make very little sense. There are flats here in NE and there are fish on the flats and there are even fishermen with flats boats, fishing for the fish on the flats - but you have to traverse some snot-filled, choptastic salt water hell-hole in order to get there. When is someone going to build a 35 foot Center Console that launches a 17 Hewes Tailfisher from the bow so I can play with one of those boats, they look like a lot of fun.
