Any of y'all own one? Driven one? Thoughts on these? Looks pretty fun, but not very fundamental for the marsh...I could be wrong, though

I grew up fishing in one. They are good for perch jerking and bream fishing but not ideal bass fishing IMO.

i grew up fishing in one with my dad. they are pretty handy for freshwater and did a fair job in the marsh also. its nice having the "openness" for kids, etc

My dad's first bass boat was a stick steer back in the day.

The boat in the op looks like a design from an airboat.

I still have a steer stick mudboat/ "put put". Great for frogging alone. Stick on left side, forward stick turns left, with a head lamp and the natural lean of the boat, grabbing frogs is easy.
