Hey Curtis,
About 2 years ago, I purchased a Merrymeeting 16' Scull boat from a member in New Jersey. I restored it last season and hunted it for Atlantic Brant here on Long Island, NY. I've hunted 2 guys comfortably granted both are hunting out the side. The boat worked fantastic and I have to say it was a perfect vessel for this location as it draws nearly centimeters of water it's crazy. The maneuverability on these boats works great too. I powered mine with a 6hp Mercury 4-Stroke. The boat is towed out across the bay to the spot then I putter into the marshland with that 6hp. Plenty stable for myself, another and the gear.
(TDB) The Duck Boat Co. Makes customized blinds for these boats as they are still producing them. Lou over at LockStock&Barrell made this boat as the Brant II which is the one I have but TDB has all the accessories & molds.
This can be done I designed mine to be a layout for this season in that battleship grey but again both hunters must hunt off the sides or the guy up in the bow seat will need severe head reconstruction!
