Duroboat Fun and Fishing
Duroboats are used for lots of things but at its heart it is a fishing boat.
These pics are the large and small treasures dragged from the water with the help of a Duroboat.
Eric and Shannon F. report lots of good times and caught many fish in their Duroboat. Shannon is holding her 35lb Chinnok taken on Barkley Sound in Super Natural, British Columbia, Canada

We have seen this Duroboat " Red Drum" knocking around on the internet for a few years. In October 09 a posting showed up that recounted a fishing trip to the Sea of Cortez.

Susan and daughter Stephanie's in their new Duroboat on Oklahoma's beautiful Grand Lake 'o' The Cherokees. Joe was behind the camera. We read somewhere the o' means, over, not of ' the Cherokees.
The boat is a 15W with split side rails, console grab rail, twin Fish on seats with blue cushions and a Tohatsu 30HP motor, A very sweet and fast little package. Perfect for fishing or a quick trip to one of Grand Lake's many great restaurants.

John , his son Eric and their buddy Rob drove hard from Carmel Indiana all the way to Seattle to pick up their new bright yellow custom Duroboat. They powered it with a 40 HP Tohatsu TLDI direct injected two stroke motor. Here they are, back “Home In Indiana”
That's John above and john and Eric below. While we don't generally bill Duroboats as ski boats John recently gave us this report about wife Lori.
"Last weekend, we got Lori up on a slalom ski first try. The boat didn't even strain to get her up and it handled her wide cuts with ease."

Charlie Jr is 6'3" , 230lbs and 83 years young. His 12D is just right for him to hunt the Biloxi River for bass in the summer and speckled trout, redfish and flounder in the cooler months.

Speaking of Moby Dick. Even a Duroboat can't land 'em all.
Guys, we know you have faith in your Duroboat but there are limits.

Paul Jay, fishes down Mexico Way. This is a medley of the hits he recorded in his first Duroboat.
Paul recently bought his second hull and moved all of his custom fishing gear and beach launch wheels to the new one. His old hull was left for dead.
Six months later we got a call from a fellow that wanted to know how to fix up an old Duroboat he found in someone's yard. It had major holes cut in it and lots of parts missing. After a few questions we determined that Paul's old hull from these pictures was about to undergo a complete refitting and new life. We have seen the pics and the new hull looks good, but pics are not yet in a format we can publish. Richard?
Speaking of pictures, Paul what have you caught lately?
Alice, a miniature black lab, sniffed out this striper from South Carolina's Murrells Inlet. She is nice enough to let Don hold the fish. More on Alice and Don in DuroLinks at the Duroboat Experience page.
Not the best pic because we lifted it from a video. This is one of the anglers from Work Boats Uganda. They took this Duroboat to a 2006 fishing tournament near Murchison Falls in Uganda. That is where Lake Victoria dumps in to the Nile River. They are fishing on the Nile for Nile Perch, which can get as large as 200 lbs. If you want to see more Nile Perch hit this Link. Some of the Perch there are amazing.
