Hey guys, I'm new to the page, but I regularly fish in Apalachicola Florida, and the St. George Island area. In the past, I have just used my duck boat to get around, and it works, but I am looking to get something more suited for the job. I mainly target redfish and want to get into the tarpon as well when they are here. I need a boat for 2 people that is able to navigate the skinny water and also be able to get across the bay without getting a spine fracture. I know prices are out of control right now, but I wanted to see what everyone thought. This forum is a rabbit hole that is taking up all my time!
(Current boat is Edge 1656 with a Yam 90 2 stroke, would need to sell current setup to afford new rig)

I'm selling my 2020 Ankona Salt Marsh with a 60etech on the back. It's a super nice boat. Poles like a dream, gets in inches of water. It doesn't do amazing in open water though. Much more meant for that back water stuff. With that said, I have been using it to cross water in the Keys and as long as it's under a 13,14 mile an hour wind, it's okay
