I call them tunnel drive but I don't know if that's precisely correct. If you are looking for one, try coastal North and South Carolina.

Um, aren't they called gill net boats?



Or maybe bird dog boats?

The second picture that Philster posted is what I was looking for. I google searched and could not find a name for it like "dory, skiff, or what ever". I searched for gill net boat but never saw this one. thanks for the replies. looking to possibly convert an older boat into one.

Not sure where you're from but there's tons of them in NJ. Probably cheap too.

Google trembley boats. I think that is what you are looking for!

Outboard powered? Atlantic wellboat. You can find them for sale on craigslist all along the east coast.
