I was looking at one of those, but when I saw how much it would be to put duck blind material on it, I decided against it.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?

I also considered it and:
- would not fit on a trailer
- would get grounded on the flats
- way too long to be able to make it to either ramp, or even up the river for that matter
- wouldn't be able to go anywhere and stay "under the radar" or even "blend-in" with other boats
:-D
