for years now, i have wanted to fish some skinny swamp water near us and we tried it with a 14' aluminum with a 25 mercury. submerged cypress stumps seemed to get the better of us and even though it is a mercury, i really like that little 2 stroke and don't want anything to happen to it. what's one to do? buy the right boat for the job. there's a local boat builder that's been getting some good reviews in the duck hunting community and we decided to let him do a custom boat for us.
