Brand new here been doing a lot of reading looking for some suggestions. I currently hunt out of a 14ft flat bottom with a 15hp outboard. which can be a pain running around mud , I need to upgrade. I hunt mostly in tidal marshes with soft to firm muddy bottom, there are no trees/ stumps very few rocks or floating debris , there are a lot of tight sloughs/creeks and currently my access is limited to a lot of pushing or going when the tide is in. i am looking for something in the 16-17 foot range. I usually hunt with 1 other person a dog and gear. I am wondering if a basic welded flat bottom will do the trick any advice is much appreciated.

Anyone?

It'd work fine. Slick bottom is better when ya get down to the nitty gritty but you may wanna take a serious look at 60" bottom if possible.

thanks for the link i have a similar boat but mine is not a mv. yea i would like to get something made for a mud motor but the funds are not there right now with only a month left in the season I am going to try and stick it out and save some for next year.
