I had a CS J-16. I beat the heck out of that sucker and could not hurt it. I believe you can get them in brown now too, so it would work for hunting. I am 6'4 and 230 pounds and it was very stable with me in it. With my 25hp Nissan on it, it would get up to 28mph GPS with me in it. The only thing you have to be careful with is real sharp turns at speed. The flat bottom will skip if you go to fast. The nice thing about them is you can buy the bare hull and CS makes all kinds of decks and consoles for them. I believe Blacks Marine sells them in Lafayette. Go check them out! I sold mine at four years old (motor was a '93) with a trailer (2008), trolling motor, batteries and stuff for $2500 last fall. There are deals on them if you look around.
