River Rat Boats

Jusy wondering where they aremade, they looklike the Supreme, but how are they priced?

I don't know, but there is one in springfield for sale, it is the 20' fiberglass, has a trailer and a 9.9 mercury motor, it has one live well and two or three seats, I think the guy wants 1500.00 for the boat, motor and trailer. Sounds pretty good to me, I already have a boat or I would buy it right now, I used to have one and it was great for all kinds of fishing.

Hate to revive an old post but figured someone else might wonder about 'the Rat' at some point.... I've had one for a couple of years that I bought right. It's not a bad boat although my model is one of the narrower ones at 36" if memory serves. I just run it during the summer on the Buffalo. They haven't been mfg'd in years, I think since the early -mid 90's. Story I heard was some former Supreme boys set out to build a 'better' boat but somewhere along the way got busted 'borrowing' supplies from Supreme via a currently employed buddy..

All of that being said, I like mine pretty well for the Buffalo. Doesn't draft hardly anything. Being narrow didn't hurt anything last memorial day after all the flood damage rearranged & tightened up many of the chutes from Rush to B. City. My party @ memorial day runs several Shawnees and an occasional Supreme. A lot of locals are married to the Shawnees. If I was to move from the 'Rat, it would be to a Supreme. Just a much more finished product.
