they used to build "High Tide" boats around here, very similar boat to the type you posted. they closed up shop a few years ago. The hottest boat of that type around here is the Bentz Craft, there weren't many built, and they bring a premium among locals

I agree, I had a stumpknocker for 5 years and caught many fish with it. I ran 30mph plus with a yamaha 25 on it. Ran in very skinny water.

Early Stumpknockers were flat bottom. They do make some with a little V that remind me of an Old Timer. Mom has the flatbottom 17' Stumpknocker that gets around nice with a 60 4-stroke. Fairly shallow runner but the NV goes places that mud motors and airboats need only apply. As evidenced by the lack of gelcoat on the bottom... Started out as a baby in the 12' SeaKing with 4.5 Merc. It wouldn't plane but the fish didn't care..

Actually it's quite different from an Amesbury Skiff. The AS is only rated for a max of 25hp and has a flat bottom.
