I have a mud skipper 6.5 predator on a flatback canoe. That combo can get in anywhere. I am selling because I upgraded, but haven't run the new boat yet.

1442 G3 with homemade 15 Hp surface drive
I also have a 8 hp 2 stroke

Here's my 2 main rides at the moment-
12'9x54" sneakboat, I've switched out the surface drive in this photo for a 14hp Backwater longtail-she will get about 14mph with me, dog, and a full hunting load. Small enough to hide easily but with enough width to carry a big load and she can handle 2 guys and a hunting load no problem.
13'3"x44" Poleboat-built specifically for hunting the motorless areas at our local WMA's as well as floating rivers and getting into the small hidden spots-can be powered by oars, paddle, or pushpole. She probably tops out at about 8mph, depending on if I ate my Wheaties that morning or not :mrgreen:
She will grass up and hide pretty darn well too-

It's a 15.5 foot Old Town Sportsman Saranac. It's rated for 800 lbs. I've had over a 1000lbs in it before ?, I did that in water I could wade in.

I run a 14x48 with a 18 hp surface drive (wish I would have got the 23).
with my GPS. Empty I top out at 21mph. With a dozen decoys and a gun I top out at 19-20mph. With me and a 240lb hunter and a dozen decoys and guns I top out at 18mph.
On the opener, I loaded my boat with 5 dozen full body goose decoys, 7 dozen sillo's, 2 layout blinds, a 240lb dude, guns and later 80lbs of geese and we were doing 9mph. Probably could have gone faster with the right balance.
