you nailed it there.
best compromise i've found is the 13' boston whaler skiff i've got. those buggers are unsinkable. i set it up with a 25 2-stroke on it, a 12 volt trolling motor and a push pole. i can go wherever i want. i also have a 18 hp godevil i stick on it during duck season.

Carolina skiffs are the ones that draw me back in to thinking I don't need two different boats. Just when I think it's gonna work I read about the seas getting up in a hurry I lose my nerve.

My brother has a 15' whaler and it rides very well in open water, but still gets into pretty shallow stuff as well.
