Bote Rover
Florida Sport Fishing|November/December 2017

BY ALLOWING ANGLERS TO CAPITALIZE on the stealthy attributes of a paddleboard combined with the longer range of a skiff, BOTE is lifting limitations and redefining what can be achieved from such a minimalist platform. With a super shallow draft and recommended 6 HP four-stroke, the endless pursuit on your quest for the one truly is infinite in opportunities when perched atop the tricked-out Rover.

Bote Rover

Though the addition of an outboard opens up a whole new world for SUP enthusiasts, it’s important to understand that the Rover is a paddlecraft above all else. With classic BOTE features like the channeled, deep-V nose and durable design, the 14-foot Rover glides across the water’s surface with impressive stealth when paddling.

However, the incorporation of an outboard turns this traditional paddleboard platform into an immensely versatile microskiff. The switch from paddle to power is seamless and when the outboard is deployed, the Rover can reach a top speed of 16 MPH. Additionally, the Rover is designed to run like a displacement hull with the nose lifted out of the water when traveling under outboard power, providing operators with a smooth ride and the ability to complete tight turns with unparalleled stability.

A Whole Different Animal - Wild Cats that Got the Cream

MOST ANGLERS HAVE STRONG BELIEFS ABOUT WHAT HULL TYPE IS BEST. Running hard in rough water requires a seaworthy platform with the strength and stability to keep you safe, comfortable and dry. Among the different trends that have consequently become evident from the evolution of center consoles, boat builders are cornering a new niche of complex and competitive catamarans harnessing more outboard power than ever before. Breaking the barrier with innovative hull designs and deck layouts, the newest catamarans offer unobstructed fishability while providing increased fuel economy and speed per applied horsepower.

The Lotus Effect - Exploring The Science Of The Shine

THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS inspired by the animal kingdom, with the science of emulating nature known as biomimetics. Evolution has perfected natural designs and environmental approaches over hundreds of millions of years, providing chemists, biologists and engineers with a perfect platform to advance modern materials and manufacturing processes. Learning the way of the lotus leaf has revealed remarkable self-cleaning properties resulting from the unique flora’s ultrahydrophobic surface architecture producing water droplets in nearly perfect spherical shape.

Underwater LEDs

MY CENTER CONSOLE WAS RECENTLY OUTFITTED with full spectrum color-changing underwater LEDs and I can’t wait to test them out. I’m aware of their ability to attract forage and predator species to the boat from dusk till dawn, but are high intensity LEDs effective at attracting life during the day? If so, what color shines brightest amid the natural light of the sun?
