The Pacific Loon is designed to be a general purpose row boat, for fishing, crabbing, and seeing the sights. Plenty of rowboats manage those tasks, but the Pacific Loon really shines on multi-day trips. The floor of the boat is several inches off of the skin, and wide enough and long enough to be a comfortable bed. In combination with a cockpit cover (tent plans included), you can choose between making camp on land, or just setting the anchor and calling it a night. All this in a boat that you can carry from the roof of your car down to the waters edge.
