As I state in another thread, I am really curious what brand boat this is.  The consensus seems to be Sea Ark.  Let me know what your think.

But I am also interested in this jackplate.  I have never seen one like this.  What is it?

It looks like a heavier duty model of this:

I would love to see him win out of that rig!!!   They say the motor was his dad's and it's about 20 years old.  Then he rigged it with the jack plate to get him throught the stumps.

I think he might win this thing--from some of the things I've read, he seems to have something going.

I think the front might mess his fish up.  Of course, I am speculating as to what he has found.
