Does anyone have any 1st hand expierence with any of these aluminum boats they look interesting but looks like they can be really wet on snotty day I’m kinda showing interest in these boats but not to sure
 
A hunting partner of mine has a County Line duckboat and I've been in it. It is a very well made boat. I agree, it is a bit of a wet ride and the slick flat bottom isn't the best in turns or running chop, but it is efficient, meaning doesn't take a lot of horsepower to get moving. My friend's has a 20hp outboard and it runs in the mid 30s. Once on location they hide like a sneakbox should.

Does his run flapper boards as well? If done you sitting on the floor ? What’s his setup like ?
 
One thing I failed to mention is the boat is very good in shallow water. It doesn't draft much and a nice thing about flat bottoms is they don't require a lot of water and if you have to get it over a stump of beaver dam it is easier to manage than a vee shaped hull.
 
So here’s my interest I have a 15 wrangler V in the front but mostly flat it’s either buy a 37-40hp mud for it and it , or sell it an buy a county line style boat I love the 15 with 2 guys hunts comfy
