Look into Mud Bubby's or Go Devil's We have 2 Go Devil's they will run in 3" of water as long as you have a mud bottom. "No Fiberglass"

Why not fiberglass. What I've seen on the water the fews times out are all fiberglass. Carolina skiffs, McKee craft, boston whaler, etc.

He was talking about breaking Ice and I think metal is better for those conditions

db612,

Don't know if they sell the Weldbuilt boats in your area, if not, maybe another made similar to it. I have a Weldbuilt tunnel hull, it's 16 feet by 5 feet (inside bottom).It is aluminum and totally welded, NO rivets. Because of the tunnel, it requires a special set up. I have to run a short shaft motor (15 inch), with a 4 bladed prop, and a jack plate, plus a water pressure gauge on the dash. These extras' add about a $1000.00 to the overall price of the boat. They come in longer lengths and different widths.

What I like about the boat, is because of the tunnel hull I can run this boat in 6 inches of water when at full throttle (which I don't necessarily like to do), it will go over logs, etc. I don't have a clue how it would do where there is ice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just something for you to consider.
