That's a very nicely rigged boat.

I'd be interested in knowing what makes a boat "multi-specie" ??

Also, the description of being "fresh water" sets off all of my alarm
bells. To me that's like saying: "Don't even think of bringing this
boat near salt water because every piece of hardware will corrode and
fall off within a nanosecond".

A marketing term - you can use it to "fish" for multiple species -
each little niche fishery has to have it's own "fishability" in terms
of boats so this is, in theory, a general all-purpose boat for all
species.

It's stupid, but hey...

Heh - yeah - that was my thought.

LoL! That's exactly what popped into my head when I clicked on the
link. I figure it must mean that this one boat is capable of catching
both Bass AND Crappie. So now there's really no need to own a boat
for each type fish you want to catch ;-).

There is a tiny possibillity that he left out one word and something
should have read " Fresh water cooled " That should be called glycol
cooled, but whatever. My fresh water boat is glycol cooled. My fresh
water boat has no corrosion whatever after thirty years. Aluminum
Starcraft cuddy. They still make the model. Maybe they just mean never
exposed to salt. That can't hurt.

Well, some boats are better suited to one type of fishing over
another.
