I wolud say a 14' boat with a deep V hull and a 9.9hp would be a safe place to start. Remember, once you start loading two hunters, a pile of decoys and a dog, you are getting heavy. Potholes can sure get VERY rough in a hurry. Have fun!

I ususally hunt alone and and have an angled backboard in the cockpit and sit down in it, the dog either sits between my legs or lays on the deck beside me.  I either pull it into a cut or alongside the bank as shown. Because it is so low it is virtually invisible to ducks.  In an area where there is some cover we just run it into the coverand sit on the deck.  At the Potholes we run it into the willows parallel to the water and use a bassfishing seat in the  front and I stand in the rear with the dog.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
