For the price you can find a much more suitable boat to use....a gheenoe would be a hell of a lot cheaper and go just as many places with more options on power. It's a great little craft but a very small niche market. Perfect for florida with the sandy bottoms and maybe even texas. I'd hate to go over in the marsh here.
Keaker if I remember the price was somewhere around the 2000$ range just the hull. Also look into the Pelican Ambush ( i think they sold the mold/discontinued it)

I actually build a skiff extremely similar to the ambush to hunt with...that thing got skinny.
