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. Later, Tom S.

I got a ride in one last year on Chesapeake Bay, where the one-foot-chot will knock your fillings out, and I thought it road really rough, too. In fact, it pounded a lot until we got off plane. |

I much prefer light tackle fishing and I really like boats in this class. I was a little surprized at this boat, though, because I heard some really good things about them. I think it's the waters we fish up here in NE. You read reviews of boats and in these waters, they don't match up very well. My Ranger is a great example of that. I bought the 200C because I fished on one down in Texas and really liked the boat. It was shortly after I purchased the boat, I took it out around Race Rock and started wondering if I had made a mistake. However, it does fine in the Bay, close inshore and the big lakes, so I can't complain - that's why I bought it. Later, Tom S.
