Were I run my boat I would be scared to run a fiberglass boat the oyster shells have really messed up the bottom of my alluminum boat.

He has a jack plate that allows him to go shallower I believe but not in soft mud of course. Those skiffs with Tohatsus are good for stump jumping but like you said it's need the devil for optimal shallow performance. Oyster beds are a killer for sure, but I've seen them shred aluminum as well. Let me know when a night trip is in order and I'll defenitely come down.
