The boat is a 24’ custom built Carolina Skiff, made for the shallow
waters other tours would never dare attempt.  That is were you
find most wildlife!  I field tested this boat hull type for over 2,000
hours in the back country of southwest Florida, waters so shallow
only the kayakers would share the experience. A skiff is just what
is needed, a flat bottom boat with VERY shallow draft. I didn't stop
there! The engine is a four-stroke, low fuel consumption, non-
smoking, very quiet high tech wonder and it exceeds the Federal
EPA 2006 emission requirements!  I went one step farther, I am
very concerned about sea grass bed damage and injury to marine
animals, so I have equipped the boat with a hydraulic system that
will lift and lower the entire engine to ensure the prop is as high
out of the water as possible to absolutely minimize any possible
damage!
