New Panfish Ride!

Just ordered our new boat. Alweld 1856 "Outlaw" Invader. It will be 4 inches wider than the boat in pic...plus half the deck will be removed. I have ordered the same paint as this boat. The SeaDek will be carbon gray with dark red trim. Motor will be a 60/40 jet drive in black. Same Bimini top....same seats.....Drotto Boat Latch.....EZ Steps ladder.....80# Ulterra TM with quick release plate...Helix 10 Mega si Gen 4.......steel trailer with 14 inch alloy wheels....triple charger....interior LED lights...rod trays. This boat belongs to the owner of Mighty White Marine. While I hated to copy his boat it just looks darn good!...and Susan thought so too. Be ready in 2-3 months. This boat will serve me well on the river and in the lakes chasing shell cracker and bluegill. This is a deep boat with lots of room. Life is good!


Regards

That is wild and I love the flooring !!

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing it. Congrats Randy.

Congratulations!
Can’t wait to read about and watch your coming adventures!

Congrats Randy. I believe it will serve you well. I hope you kept the storage in the front when the deck gets shrunk. Gonna be the bomb, if folks even say that anymore.

Congrats, very happy for you.

Nice rig.

Congrats on the new rig!

Very nice:ThumbsUp and I want a report back on the jet drive, there are a lot of times I think I'd like to make the move to a jet, I have three rivers and a lot of "backwater" nearby that a jet would be very handy:fish

Yes Please, I second the request. Jets are because of rocks, just shallow water, very interested to know. Thanks

Congratulations on your new ride. It will look super sharp on the water.

Congratulations. That looks like a really nice fishing rig.

can I be your FAVORITE son when you give it away some day in the future pretty please ......

Much envy for sure here, Randy. Congrats!

Beautiful boat Randy. Much as I like it would be hard for me to give up the convivence of stick steer, never having to get up, but I guess on the river that's maybe not an option. Curious could you rig it for stick steer with the jet drive ? Scott

Good question Scott, I’m wondering.

Believe me I lose sleep thinking about losing the convenience of a SS. Having used my old boat trout fishing the Caney Fork when they were generating, and then using my nephews tiller doing same tiller just works better when drifting in strong current. Go to sleep thinking about where to mount my Helix. Can’t afford to have two but just don’t know where to put it. In the end I’ll just be happy to get back in a boat. I’m sure they could probably do a SS on that boat but one thing is for sure, this is a tiller steer place? The gentleman that bought my bought just sent me some pics of him enjoying it on the Columbia River. Glad to see he is enjoying it.

Regards

Humminbird used to make a switch that would allow you to run 2 tranducers off 1 head unit. Just flip back and forth if trolling motor was up. They quit making it and I was told it was because of interferance. I had and actualy still have it on the boat and never had problems with mine. I don't know if it would be compatible with todays Gen4 but if it would work I'd be glad to take it off and send it to you. I quit using it when I got livescope as I set up the humminbird for the transom and use the livescope on the trolling motor. Can't remember the name of the switch T-4 or something like that. Scott

Very kind of you to offer. I had that switch in my boat but when the Mega units came out you could no longer use it. I had 2 transducers when I had the 899.

I was looking at the alweld 1856 when I was looking at new boats, but it’s was a 4-5 hour ride just to go see it, then I started thinking about if I had problems and drive again to take it there, then go pick it back up, so I decided to buy local, sometimes I wish I would have bought the alweld.

I really didn’t set out looking for any particular brand. I saw that boat on Facebook at Mighty White Marine. I needed a boat that would function as a trout boat on rivets and yet I wanted to be able to fish smaller lakes with it also. This one fit the bill. Of course it is made not very far from where I now live. What impressed me most about the dealer is just how much custom work they do. It blew my mind. Back in middle TN there is not a dealer anywhere that does the level of custom work Mighty White does. But I’m finding out that here in Arkansas quite a number of dealers do custom work. They take their duck boats seriously out here and really trick them out.

Reading this I’m thinking of how nice it is to have the custom work by someone that does it all the time. Many of us have the skills and ideas but we lack the tools and access to materials and the cost becomes prohibitive. I’m looking forward to the reveal too.
