 Best boat for the Texas marsh
Okay I have searched on here for countless hours and I have some ideas on what I want but I would really like some recommendations on a hull and some builders. 90% of the time I'm going to be running the bays and shallow back lakes on the coast I currently have a small gdsd and it's okay for just two people but I'm always pushing the limits ans having to make multiple trips in and out with it and I'm ready to step up. Don't need anything fancy I just want a shallow drafting boat that I can haul the mail with, haul 4 guys and gear , maybe crunch some oysters with too...and redfish alot out of it during the off-season. I'm thinking an 1860 for shallow draft. I just need help with hunt deck no hunt deck foam or no foam....ect And some recommendations on builders I'm willing to travel for the right builder. Any help is appreciated

 Re: Best boat for the Texas marsh
I'm gonna assume stumps, are not a concern?

 Re: Best boat for the Texas marsh
I usually make 2 out of state trips per season that takes me around a few stumps but not enough to concern me. More shell when exploring new spots than anything

 Re: Best boat for the Texas marsh
1854 1860 minimum 21" with 24 being ideal. I'm gonna say a proper 1/8 will be more than enough. V hull has its ups and down. Thats descion youll have to weigh. The rest is preference. I do a lot of fishing but also bowfish and hunt. I have a rear deckover and 8" cat rails.

 Re: Best boat for the Texas marsh
What's the deal with foam vs no foam?
