Sorry, it's not an offshore boat, or a true flats boat..
Ducks, reds, trout, bass and brim be ware.....
A buddy of mine builds these and you can't sink them. Lots of floatation in it. During the CG cert he filled it to the top (over what it called for) and it still sat above the water. They are designed for mud motors but after putting my OB on it and running it today we were both very pleased and suprised. This same 6hp motor on my gheenoe pushes it 13 mph per my gps. On the new boat it runs 18mps. That's me and 3 gal of gas. With me and another guy I loaded up at the ramp we hit 15.5. I'll get a 10hp surface drive mud motor in a few months and then I'll be set and can run the entire 6K acre lake where as now I'm limited to about a little less than 1/3 of it. I'll use the OB to fish creeks and skinny water on the flats. I think I'll be very happy with it.

How would that boat handle rocks in the flint river? I'm looking for a boat that doesn''t hurt to get the bottom banged up a little by rocks in the river.

Never been there so I don't know but it handles the Wacissa river pretty dang good. It's a tough little boat but like any glass boat, I'm sure you could find a way to put a rock through it if you really tried.

Brainfart ... I meant Miccosukee Widgeon. It is the exact same boat I have. Got it from Cody Reese, a Tallahassee fireman who makes them on the banks of the Miccosukee.
Bman, I have a B60 as well. It is an awesome boat, but a little harder to get into the reeds to hide.
