Man that's optimistic- buying a LS without even having a boa to put it on! My boat search lasted over a year. Be ready to wait a long while on an ordered boat for sure.
[QUOTE=Danny Lang; Looking for a boat that I can shoot docks out of and vertical troll and livescope fish. Is there one.?[/QUOTE]
On a recent Crappie Connection Podcast featuring the "Crappie Ninja", who is supposed to be the Master of Dock Shooting, said the perfect boat for that technique is a stick steer. You are sitting in the water, not on top of it, thus giving you a better angle. All while sitting down. No more sore everything due to hunkering down to shoot.
You can also accomplish all the other techniques mentioned as well.

This is true. I use to fish out of a 17ft Nitro and you were woreout after after a day of dock shooting. I have have a 14ft fiberglass skiff and since I am closer to the water I feel much better after a day of dock shooting. Since i'm typically sitting down while I am fishing I had my boat set up alot like Alphahawk. Everything is within my reach radius while fishing. The only time I have to move is when I am working the tiller on the outboard.

I feel your pain. My answer was going to a two boat system (well actually 4 but that is my addiction issue) Have a 87 Champion Lake boat, and a 2052 Alweld with a 50-35 jet, (sold my trout boat for that) both have been in your area. Put in at Swinging Bridge, the coontail was a battle with the jet. My suggestion is two lower cost boats that will do the job. You would not play golf with one club?????

Something like a flats boat might fit the bill shallow draft but yet handle bigger water.

Might check Alweld semi-v models.
I’ve had 2 made over the years. Top notch in every way.
20 footer and 24 footer.
Used to take the 24 out in the Gulf about 6-10 miles.
That’s probably overkill for your needs but you can custom order smaller versions like their 1860 and have it built with your specs. Storage, live well, etc where you want.
Just a suggestion.
Good luck.

My buddy is selling his Alumiweld tunnel boat with a 70 Yamaha.
Not a scratch on it.
He wants 18k for it.
