I've been looking into an open hull tiller boat for the Sound, and came up with these 3. Have you fished them?

1. Alumaweld Free Drifter- Too much of a river boat with 6 degree
deadrise? http://www.alumaweldboats.com/new_vehicl...;ModelYear=2010

2. Lund 1750 Outfitter- Like the bow for flyfishing and day storage too.

3. Hewes Open Fisherman - the 18' might be the one. 22 degree deadrise with 10 degree in the stern.
