Ultraskiff disc-shaped fishing boat. What do you guys think?

Interesting, although I got to call shenanigans on two "features". One, it looks easy to get back into from the water if you are an olympiad swimmer and two, it looks to be tipping back pretty good when the hunter raises up to shoot and he hasn't even shot, yet. If stable and in camo green with a pop up blind, it could be an interesting duck hunting platform for pond hunting.
Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

I'll call shenanigans on other supposed feature... paddling it would be an absolute bee-a-achhh, as 1) have to perch up at the very front, and 2) paddle outward in a weird motion around the edge of it. Would get super old super quick.

On the positive side, for really calm waters lack of any significant obstructions would make for ideal fly casting.

Looks like it's a good idea. Looks like fun. Looks like you could catch fish from it. Doesn't look like its free!
I suspect I'll keep my yak & CaroSkiff.
