Almost 45 years ago my first boating experiences were in a boat similar to that one. We beat the crap out of it & it just kept taking more. Can't count the number of times we deliberatly sank it or ran into rocks with it. A RIB would not have lasted 2 days with us.

The one in my sig is my 'which way' punt. It is a very nice little rower but if you stand up in it you never know which way it is going to try & throw you out. Bought it new in 88. Still going strong.

Here in Louisiana that would make a great boat to hunt from in the narrow canals that we have. We also have pull overs and it looks to be lite enough for one man to pull a short distance across land. Good looking boat.
