would like to do some fishing and exploring. i grew up on the lacassine bayou from Intracoastal to Lorraine Bridge, but definitely lack experience around the tugs we saw when i was in the basin. i want something durable mostly and it looked like thats what the locals were using.
ETA this is the style i am talking about, but admittedly have never operated one. let me know your thoughts and experiences homemade?
tell me the concept behind this design, if anyone can. thanks to all love this board

I've never been in a skiff like that. but we've always make jokes about them in simesport when we see em on the river. but ill say this, if those river rats in simesport use those to go shad dipping, then they must be some good boats. i just hate the way they look

If you're not crawfishing or dipping shad, I'm not sure why you'd go skiff. If you go flat bottom, you can do what you want (cruise the basin) and fish easier.
A skiff is a nice alternative to mud hulls since they typically have a flat bottom and can be had used cheaper. Also nice having the pointed bow for timber but if you'll have an outboard, I don't see a skiff going to places you can't with a flat bottom and an outboard.
