looking for tips on a good “skinny water” boat that can also handle some lake waves?

I am planning on a jet drive/tunnel hull, 18-22 feet long, durable, to be used for small river and moderate lake fishing and hunting, so preferably camo or earth colors.

    Good question. It’s hard to find a boat that will do all your asking about and do them well.

    My advice is to get an aluminum, semi-v hull all -welded boat. Any of these boats work well and you can get one that’s camo. I personally have a 15 foot Seark that I use for hunting and fishing in the inland lakes we have around East Texas. They make longer ones that you can choose from as well. Just remember, the larger boat you get, the more restricted you are as far as access to the very shallow backwater that you might want to hunt. Got a good friend that has a longer (17′ I think) Express duck boat with a 40 hp motor. Mine is a 25hp. His is better to ride in and is faster, but you can’t get to the more remote spots in his like you can do in mine.
