Re: Boat Width ??? 18x54 I do more just as much or more fishing out of my boat than hunting and the 54 was a great choice. A lot of room and takes the waves ok for a flat boat. I am running the Gator Tail boat and motor.

Re: Boat Width ??? I run a 1660 gdsd. If u got a couple inches of water it's not bad at all. The slick bottom of mud boats makes it much easier but I still wouldn't even think of pushing any boat across dry ground. We've had the tide fall on us to quick many times with a hard bottom and had to push. I think it's a great boat to hunt 2 or 3 out of and also fish out of.
