I guess this is where opinions differ. A lot of the camps around us in Cocodrie had some sort of small boat on the lift in addition to their bigger boats. Whether it's a Carolina Skiff or an 18' Aluminum hull. They all take off chasing reds in the marsh or specks in the winter. I would take my boat anywhere they took those boats and fish more comfortably. And you can find them priced similarly. Granted, it is an all business boat. I wouldn't take a 3 year old out in it. There's not a lot of area to sit down with your shrimp under a cork. But if you want to fish, it out performs those boats hands down. And those boats are very prevalent where I fished.

I'm totally with you on having a smaller boat that can get skinny along side a big boat to run to timbalier, in fact I think that's what I'm trying to say. I just think most people get that with a flat bottom jon or small aluminum CC/SC at a lower cost. You said it best, you're paying for more comfort to do about the same thing those boats do, and there's nothing wrong with that. I've just come to the conclusion I can afford more big boat if I don't drain the bank on the smaller boat, and the capability differences aren't that different among smaller boats.
