So its just a 12 footer with 6hp evinrude (that needs a couple seals but ran good). I took my son and nephew out for the maiden voyage today at Wellington #4. Its pretty heavy with wood floor, forward battery compartment, seats, motor and trolling motor with 3 people it rode the waves pretty good when the wind came up. Just fun to get my own boat out. Now i need a bigger one [ROFL1] But it was nice to be able to pull right up on the sand in the smaller boat and step in and out of it.

Yep. Perfect for 2-3 but my daughter is gonna be a crowd [ROFL1] i will be looking for a 14-16 footer soon. But i had this in such shallow water screwing around that my trolling motor struck mud! But i can go places my stepdads Lund sure wont go.

I will be mounting the rod holders tomorrow.

My input (for what it's worth), stick with something simple like a bigger version of what you have there. It gets everything that you need done, without the crap that will end up costing you money on something more complicated (design wise). [Beer] Honestly I wish I would have gone with a simple 16' V hull river boat than my 18' Bayliner...
