[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3560847, member: 15054"] Price. That is how most of my boating options added up. get what is cheap at that time..Or Free. Now that is out of the way. I have fished in a Jon Boat and it did have an engine on the back. Eufaula lake and a huge storm came in we dumped the minnow bucket and the 5 gallon shad bucket.. 3 of us in that flat bottom boat. One at the engine trying to keep it going and not sink it and the other 2 bailing water. Huge swells that made the boat disappear and then water broke over the nose and sides filling the boat 1/2 full of water. We barely made it to shore which was the Rip Rap off 9. Pulled it onto the rocks and rested. Another time we were out in a Canoe 17 foot Coleman and same deal but only 2 of us in the canoe. Disappeared in the swells and then ride the canoe back on top. Only Oars this time barely any water in the boat and it felt much safer than that flat bottom Jon Boat. I have fished in a plastic 2 man rig also..not my cup of tea there. That was usually in freezing waters to retrieve ducks. My Canoe eventually deteriorated from the sun and I now have a small 15 foot bayliner which I can walk around the yard on the trailer it is that light. 50HP Merc. The Bayliner actually measures 14 feet. And I have a 20' pontoon.. I would like another canoe or a small aluminum V front boat. Buddy has had 3 of those and they do very well. I need tall sidewalls to keep water out during those pop up storms. Canoes can ride a wave or rough water very well if you have experience in one. During those pop up storms there were bass boats on the water and they took on a BUNCH of water. Pointy little noses that look like they point down and here comes the swell breaking over the boat! My Closed bow Bayliner I can go slow and get the nose up high and stay dry. Here is what a factory Mosquito looks like.
