not my boat & don't know the seller - just thought this was an interesting design / new to me, though somewhat like a "regular" inboard mud boat:

navy work boat perfect for swamp gator hunting - $15000 (s.a.)

Looks like the mullet boats they used down here in Fla before the net ban. Though most of them were built out of wood and had a 40-70hp motor. They could really run shallow.

Whats the pourpose of having the motor located where it is? It's got to be noisy and smell like exhaust fumes where the driver is?

I rode in at least one, that I can remember, back when I was livin' in FL. Like BBB said, those guys used em for netting mullet. They were all over the place down there.

The point is the motor is away from the area where they work the nets (out the back)

Keeps the nets from going in the prop

The motor is more or less pulling the boat instead of pushing it. It can get on plane if it can float. The boat doesn't have 2 push up over the bow wave to get on plane. Pretty neat design.
