Okay felas....I have a simple question or two regarding a small car topper type aluminum boat for next years fishing.
I am considering a 10 to maybe 12 foot boat to load into the back of my truck for the purpose of fishing small inland lakes and ponds. I want it to be stable as I will likely take a dog or two with me when I fish and I don't want it wobbling all over the place. It will never have a gas motor on it but will have an electric only. I'll most likely attach wheels to the back of it (or use some sort of light dolly I can take along) so that I can wheel it to and from a primitive launch site.
Questions are....will a Jon Boat be better than a semi-V? Will the capacity of a Jon be as much as a semi-V? Can a Jon handle the occasional chop I might encounter if the wind comes up?
I really don't want the plastic boats or a heavy fiberglass one either....so lets just stick to aluminum.
Thanks for any input.
