In regards to your hybrid swaying side to side, I'm assuming you have a keel on it. Every scull boat I've seen and used has a keel. An amateur sculler usually ha problems keeping his boat straight. I still do at times.
I'm also not sure you'd get more bang for your buck compared to paddling. Sculling is exhausting. Not near as easy as paddling. What about putting oar locks on your rig and rowing?

You're right. The handoar goes through a hole in the back of the boat and you kind of swish it around in an "S" pattern to push the boat.
QH's Paw wrote:Clyde, that is not the type of sculling I'm talking about. Basically, you are talking about oars in oar locks. True sculling for hunting purpose, you have a single oar that literally sticks out a hole in the transom or aft end. You are laying in the boat, not sitting up rowing.
The type of oar I am talking about is not straight, it is offset.
Maybe Red can explain better, I think he has a scull for hunting but, I am assuming it is a hunting scull that you lay and row.

QH...it seems you are both describing the same thing, just differently. If you click on Clyde's link and scroll down to the two scull boat pictures, you can see the sculling oar resting in the back of the boat behind the hunter.
Most all scull boats are equipped with oar locks. A hunter may launch his boat but may not actually start his "scull" for quite some time. Rowing is much easier and efficient for traveling distances. It also saves your shoulder. Sculling is hard on your shoulder. It can be exhausting for a rook who hasn't developed those muscles yet.
For anyone looking to try something new in the waterfowling realm, I highly recommend you try sculling. It is a real challenge. There really is an art to it.
I'll break my scull boat out on those sunny, blue bird days when nothing's moving and I'll go to them
