Opinions on the South Bay duck boat?

If one of you guys bought it, that's fine with me. Now I don't have to explain myself to the landlady. Post up pics after you renovate it. Jim
 
I sold the one I had, it's too heavy for one man, once it hits bottom, that's where it stays, you ain't dragging it very far.Some of the guys here use the standard grass rails, and to keep the grass tight requires a LOT of grass, heavy grass, did I mention it's heavy? that's WITHOUT the grass, lol. Good size waves wash over the bow at low speed, if you don't have a dodger, then they roll into the cockpit with you, you ever try to bail one of those? It hides ok, mostly, On a low salt meadow, not as good as you'd think.
The motor cut out on the transom is a good idea, until you want to use the motor's shallow water drive position, then the prop hits the sides of the cut out on a sharp turn. That's the main stuff, there's more.

All I can say is I'd never own another one if it was given to me.
