Advice needed on a new rig

I want to rig a specialized boat for flounder gigging/crabbing. Also cast-netting.
I have a short shft 30 hp Nissan tiller to use for the motor. I am thinking of building a removable high front rail, rigged with lights.
What kind of boat would be best? Anybody know of a boat hanging around for sale for this purpose?
Thanks for any help.

Nice truck.....I would like it I'm sure.
But I can't gig flouders out it!
My ol' 99 dodge is still living with 195,000 miles.

You probably could ride around Eastpoint and find an old oyster boat that would fit the bill

Not really, designed to carry a heavy load (alot of displacement)...Same boat is used and has a cult following around Cedar Key for running skinny.
It don't get any skinnier than this, unless it's a hover craft
