Tin i know you don't want a project but if you find a restored Sea Ox 1900, 2000, or 2100 they are shallow draft and can go out a fairly good ways. I've been 11 miles out off NC coast in a 1900 Sea Ox. It did really well. So i found one for me to redo as a Skiff /slightly Offshore. The guy that bought Sea Ox's molds is in Bridgeton, North Carolina area Tyndall Marine makes a 17, 18, and 19 i think.
