Favorite Knot: Modified albright, Palomar knot (Both of these knots are easy to tie and very strong)

Favorite Boat: Shoalwater 23 cat; 23'6" long ( This boat is long enough to catch the next wave in heavy water, very wide which provides plenty of room and deck space, floats in 8" of water and will run in 5", ( The performance of this boat in both 2-3 foot waves as well as very shallow ponds is 2nd to none)
