thoughts on this boat

[Bfish]

Just curious on others thoughts on this boat, for mostly solo fishing.  Motor up and drift back to ramp.  Maybe a couple trips a year to muskie waters (which I know nothing about, although I have kayaked the upstream whitewater and fished the downstream reservoir). Mostly using on a local warm water tailwater river here and then also to fish some tailwater trout (again mostly solo).

I also have access to my brother's Carolina Skiff J16 and he has a 15'4" Gheenoe that I could use (he plans on selling the Gheenoe).  I also have 10' outcast pontoon for tailwater trout and 17' V-hull Alumacraft (25 hp tiller) for larger waters, and access to my father's Carolina Skiff (21') for most of the summer. I also have kayaks and canoes. 

Just trying to figure, if the stealth craft would fit a "need" in my boat lineup, i.e. a quick to get ready, go upstream, and drift down solo river fisher.

By all accounts they make a nice boat -- but if you're trying to use one solo, you might consider a model you can put a larger outboard on. With a max 4hp, it's going to take forever to run up most reaches you're suggesting, and forget trying to run against generation on tailwaters. Maybe look for a little flat-bottom jon that you could throw the 25 on? 

As for muskie waters, a couple weekends ago, I hit three different public boat ramps without finding a space to park. Crazy! Almost like it's getting Caney-ized...

….With a max 4hp, it's going to take forever to run up most reaches you're suggesting….

6-8 mph when solo (with me at 230 lb)….from stealthcraft.

I have a neighbor, has a 14 if I remember correctly with an 8hp 4 stroke, pushes him and another guy up the river fine
