Hi, for sometime now I have been trying to find a boat suitable for Duck Shooting in estuaries and Creeks along the coast.
I already own a Linder 400 Sportsman , but find I cannot go as Shallow as I would like in this boat and at 13,2" engine dog and gear ,
rowing it, is a challenge.
So my spec would be , shallow draft , wide beam 40"-50" ish and between 10 and 12ft long , capable of taking a 3 - 5 hp outboard .
Some nice Sneak boat Vids on youtube from the States and Denmark . I have tried a European web search in Denmark , France etc care of a Translator
and cannot find a commercially available boat for sale . The Otter types I feel are not beamy enough and im not looking for a layout boat either .
Buying a boat in the USA and shipping it over with import taxes is beyond stupid monies.
So short of buying a Sailing Dinghy and converting it ( Has anyone done this ?), Can Anybody recommend a vessel for this task please ?.
I attach a few pics of the kind of thing I have in mind ,
thanks in advance for any Ideas.
