About the Boats

Texas Fins and Feathers offers two vessels to suit different fishing experiences. The 36’ Contender center console, originally built in 2002 and fully restored in 2016, is powered by three 300HP Suzuki engines that push it to a cruising speed of 50 knots. With room for up to six guests, it’s a comfortable, reliable choice for longer days on the water. For smaller, more intimate outings, the 18’ Silver Dollar airboat—built in 2016 and equipped with a powerful 502HP Chevy engine—delivers speed and versatility, reaching up to 30 knots and accommodating groups of up to four. Together, these boats ensure that every trip with Captain Robert Peel is safe, efficient, and perfectly suited to the adventure at hand.
