About: Bass boat

An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A bass boat is a small boat that is designed and equipped primarily for bass fishing, usually in freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers and wetlands. The modern bass boats are motorboats that feature an elevated flat front deck with swivel chairs that permit the angler to readily cast to any direction around the boat, large storage containers for fishing tackles and equipment such as rods, reels and lures, high-performance fishfinders, and a recirculating livewell where caught fish may be stored and kept alive for prolonged periods of time.

  • A bass boat is a small boat that is designed and equipped primarily for bass fishing, usually in freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers and wetlands. The modern bass boats are motorboats that feature an elevated flat front deck with swivel chairs that permit the angler to readily cast to any direction around the boat, large storage containers for fishing tackles and equipment such as rods, reels and lures, high-performance fishfinders, and a recirculating livewell where caught fish may be stored and kept alive for prolonged periods of time. Bass boats are usually propelled by two means: an outboard motor, which moves the boat swiftly from place to place; and a trolling motor, which moves the boat at a slow pace through an area where the angler is fishing. Should those motors fail, bass boats are often small and light-weight enough to be propelled by oars in an emergency. Bass boats are typically either constructed of aluminum alloy or fiberglass. The aluminum boats are lighter and typically smaller in size and less expensive than the fiberglass versions. The fiberglass renditions, however, offer more space, better handling, and the ability to house larger outboard motors. The developer of the modern bass boat is widely considered to be Skeeter Fishing Boats, a company now owned by Yamaha. In 1948 Holmes Thurmond designed and launched the first Skeeter boat. By no means was it the last "first" for Skeeter. In 1961, he built the first bass boat from fiberglass, a huge leap forward in performance and durability. Other well-known bass boat manufacturers include Ranger, Nitro, Tracker, Triton, Stratos, Bass Cat, Champion, Lowe, G3, and Xpress. An older usage of the term “bass boat” refers to a type of sport fishing boat once popular for fishing for striped bass off the Atlantic Coast of the United States. These bass boats were about 25 feet (7.6 m) long and featured a hull form similar to a New England lobster boat with a sharp entry, rounded bilges, and relatively little deadrise at the stern. They were powered with inboard engines and had a top speed of about 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph). The typical deck configuration featured a long cockpit with a windshield at the forward end and a cuddy cabin in the bow. Examples still in production include the Fortier 26 and the Dyer 29. Some outboard-powered sport fishing boats emulate bass boat styling including the Steiger Craft Block Islands and the Parker 2310 and 2510; however, these boats have a more sharply V-shaped hull form and are designed for higher speeds.

  • Le voadeiras sono delle barche tipiche dell'Amazzonia. Poco più grandi di una canoa, esse sono dotate di motore e servono ai ribeirinhos che vivono sul Rio delle Amazzoni o sui suoi affluenti per spostarsi lungo il corso del fiume. A causa delle precarie condizioni di sicurezza sulle voadoras, molti ribeirinhos sono coinvolti in incidenti, diventando vittime dell'escalpelamento. (it)
  • A Voadeira é uma embarcação movida a motor com estrutura e casco de metal, geralmente alumínio, a maioria composta com motor de popa.É largamente utilizada no transporte fluvial e em pescarias, sendo um meio de transporte bastante comum na Amazônia, no Cerrado brasileiro e no Pantanal. A voadeira também é utilizada como embarcação de auxílio em portos fluviais, ancoradouros ou até mesmo em grandes embarcações fluviais, sendo que esta é uma embarcação leve e que pode ser transportada com facilidade. É uma embarcação bastante semelhante ao esquife, sendo que no entanto, a voadeira é adaptada apenas para águas interiores tais como rios, lagos, lagoas, áreas alagadas e represas. (pt)
