    Flat bottom flyfishing boats

    Looking to upgrade from my lowe 1236 to either a Spratley out of Langley , Journey out of Kamloops or Flymaster out of West Kelowna. Anybody have any good or bad info on these units.

    Cascade in chilliwack has the Lowe 1240 on sale now. Great boats and way cheaper. Check it out.

    The above options are well made but very heavy imo. If you can find a used harbercraft flyfisher that would be the best bet but be prepared to spend a lot of money for one. Second to that look at the Lowe 1040. It is under a 100 lbs and can be had for under 1200 bucks. I have one and it works well.

    I have a lowe 1236 now and want a real stable unit. 1240 lowe might be a bit better than the 1236 but not the same as the 45 inch bottom boats.

    If you go away from the Lowe/Lunds you better look for a boat loader system too!

    Cyrus, that seems like a good deal. Is that what they cost new?
