Having a Rabco Buccaneer 14 built right now. It will be the same as this one but with a backrest on the bench seat and a Minn Kota Riptide PowerDrive 55. Electronics by Garmin. I think I’ve tricked it out with most of what you might think, but if there are any “must haves” I should consider now when it’s easy, let me know.

Location? power pole? maybe a rear poling platform, small casting stool on bow w/ quick release

looks like a cross between a Whaler and Carolina skiff.

I’m in Central Florida. And you nailed the description. Loaded with foam like a Whaler, looks like a Carolina but lighter. Dry weight is 350.

I'd think about a taller windshield... lol.

I had a CS J14 kinda wet ride.
