The Mill Creek 13 is fine to fish from. I have used my son's MC13 to fish along the coast of Maine and he uses it to flyfish in local ponds. The flat bottom makes it very stable ( my son likes to stand up in it.) You can make it lighter than most if you are stingy with the epoxy. To keep it simple you can put the hatches in the bulkheads. good luck, Addison
