After much deliberation, we settled on the G-3 1860 CCT "Gator Tough" series by Yamaha Boats. Length is 18' 1", Beam - 80", tunnel hull for shallow running, and cener console. Powered by a 90 Yamaha 4-stroke on the back, and a Motor Guide SWDS82 Great White 24 Volt trolling motor on the front.</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>Navigational electronics are Lowrance LMS - 480m, recording, 200kHz sonar with GPS+WAAS.</B></I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B><IMG SRC="1364ca5d0.jpg" border=0 width="714" height="349" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B> </B></I><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Times New Roman" ><I><B>The elevated "shooting platform" was designed to configure with the boats hull. A 6' X 6' deck frame was constructed with 1 1/2" stainless steel angle and flat stock. Hand rails are 3/4" s.s. tubing. The platform is elevated 17" from the gunnels by 4 pedestals that screw into mounts. 3" X 3/4" shafts welded to the frame work slip into the  upper  portion of the pedestals.These have been drilled and a locking pin inserted. To revert the front  to normal usage, pull the four locking pins, lift the deck off, and unscrew the pedestals from the flush mounts.</B></I></FONT></div> <div> <I><B>Lighting for night fishing is provided by four 500 watt halogen floods mounted beneath the shooting platform and powered by a Honda generator.</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>Two swivel seats are mounted on the platform for comfort during the slow streches.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B><IMG SRC="10f79afa0.jpg" border=0 width="666" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Decking is treated 1/2" plywood covered with indoor/outdoor carpet.</B></I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
