On Topic: Jones Brother Boats
Got a chance to ride around in a Jones Brothers Bateau 220 LT today -
nice boat.
Pretty functional, but everything fit properly, didn't seem to have a
lot of "flaws" - pretty basic boat for the light tackle set.
I didn't like the ride - it seemed a little rough to me. Very light
chop in Narragansett Bay and you could feel every whack and thud. I'm
not sure what that says about the boat - maybe not enough floatation?
Plenty of forward casting space. Storage was minimal - the boat would
require additional rod holders. Seating was minimal. It is what is
is - a fishing platform for inshore light tackle fishing.
