Location

Cape Lookout Shoals, Nc

Entry Description

First trip out of the inlet this year to check systems and boat performance before an offshore trip the following day. Decided to make a quick run out to the shoals to meet up with some fellow fisherman and look for schools of red drum.

Favorite Feature

Incredible layout and performance from a bay boat built to do anything. Impressive riding hull in the chop and rough seas. Love that the family features such as the large console and flip up rear seat that this boat offers don’t take away from the angler friendly fishing layout.
