Go with a custom builder. Have him put some serious gunnel rails and catwalks with a pointed bow. 1/8" sides and 3/16" bottom. When you do bounce off a tree, you leave a mark on the tree and not your hull! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Oh...and tall sides for bays and open water....center console to duck behind for spray and low hanging tree limbs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Like this one...except maybe consider tapered chine for better turning at faster speeds. I have decent turning with square chine...but, not at WOT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would go with a 2072 with a long tail. Make sure you get a a flat nose on the bow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If I built a dedicated boat for running timber it would probably be about a 16/40-42 skiff. 3/16 bottom with a PD on it. That pointy sucker would slice down the hardwood as I ran thru it  if I didn't run a PD it would be a short shaft Longtail for sure. I've been running my 1860 hard in the thick timber for the past few weeks and she's definitely a little porky to be squeezing thru some of the gaps. Bounced off several trees and came out unscathed. The big boat has done really well considering it has a 75" beam. You just have to pick your lines through the trees wisely.

I hunted NE arkansas this year in the flooded woods. Ole boy we hunted with had a 20-72 sea ark with a 90 Nissan, couldn't believe where he went and what he went over and through with that rig. He always took 5 folks, a dog or 2, few dozen dekes, and had a job box in there with a bunch of shit in it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |
