Hi Cory,

The term layout seems to have two definitions depending on who you talk to. Is this a boat for shallow water marsh hunting or is it a boat for hunting ducks in open water?

I like your idea of dry storage, but not if it adds a lot of weight.

I'm not a super experienced diver hunter, but if this is meant for open water diver hunting, I think you'll want to blend the corners more smoothly so the boat blends in with the water better.

There seem to be a lot of good options on the market already. If you can make one that is lightweight, roomy, tows well, and is safe you're on the right track.

I think you'd want to differentiate yourself somehow - maybe be the low cost provider? There is a lot of competition at the higher dollar end of the market.
