[QUOTE="ducktrooper, post: 270813, member: 9243"] Hello....I'm in the market to buy a 16-17' long hull that will be primarily used for fly fishing on shallow rivers but also for duck hunting at times. I want a hull design that is affordable($3-4K, stable to cast, shallow drafting(6-12"), and fairly light...like 300-325 lbs. I don't plan to go mud motor but 25 hp 2 stroke instead. Also, I don't want to go wider than 48" floor. So far I've found that Alweld and Weldbilt to be about the only ones do customs in these sizes and weights. Should I consider a custom manufacturer and if so, who? Also, how much does a modified V with rake of 6-8 degrees affect drafting? Is a truly smooth flat bottom the better way to go to avoid hanging up on shoals, submerged rocks, etc? Any thoughts appreciated.....John in Memphis [/QUOTE]
