This was made locally in SC for many years, Unfortunately they are no longer made and a used one is hard to find. One of my dumbest mistakes was to sell this one. It was unbelievably stable. When I saw it demo'ed at a pond, the guy that made them stood up on one side holding on to the seat and tried to make it take water by rocking back and forth. He was about 6' and weighed around 240#. Sold me on it and I loved it. The steering mechanism they had designed and developed was the best I've seen. Most have 2 pedals that are hooked to independent cables and they flop around when not under tension. This design had one continuous cable around a "pulley" he attached to the top of the motor shaft and it was under tension all the time and was super easy to steer. They made 1 and 2 man models, this was the largest they made. Had a large live well under the seat with an access door right at the front between your legs. Also had a 2nd well in the front that could be wet or dry.
This was actually trademarked as "The Sneak". Many models are now called sneak boats, but this was the original.
If you ever see one buy it.

Dang. Now that's nice. That would sure enough get you through all that thick stuff.

I've watched a few. How do you steer it then. I thought the pedals did that. LOL.

I think I figured it out. So you push both equal to go straight.

Yes. Those are really cool. I just don't like the price tag. Also, I started thinking about the trolling motors being underneath. If I was in all those vines and jungle stuff fishing and a vine got wrapped into the prop, how in the world would you get it out? And I know the prop is somewhat protected. And if one motor went out, how would you ever get back? You'd be spinning circles. I'm sure 99% of the time that's an awesome thing to fish out of. And I love that the seats are up.
