I spent nearly 2 hours cleaning that sucker. I got 10.6 lbs of meat off it but didn't like it so I gave it to my fishing buddy Jake. He said it tastes like scallops. We thought it lost enough blood to be alright but it was still a little strong sohe soaked the meat in milk over night and it supposedly tasted great.

Similar to shark meat.

I don't think you'll be happy with that boat for gigging flounder. I have yet the get into a tri-hull that didn't draw at least 8-10" or more water. Nothing worse than sinking money (especially if it's tight) into something that doesn't perform as imagined. Just my .02

Thanks for your oppinion! I completely uderstand what you're saying and I'll consider finding a flat bottom aluminum boat. For now, money is tight so I first need to restore this beast, then onto using the advice I get from you guys (and gals?) to set up a good rig.
