Should I snatch it up for some small pond/lake fishing? Ive been wanting something small enough for me and maybe one other person that would be easily transportable and small enough to take about anywhere..
Sounds like a good deal.
Anyone else out there have one of these or ever been in one? All the review's say they're great boat's and hold quite a bit of weight.

Uh oh.........Smossy, ya we forgot to tell you something, when you got the john boat.... :IBCOOL: Ya boats have a knack of multiplying, it's rather amazing really!!! They don't even need to touch.. :yike:...and you wake up one morning and the driveway and yard are full of boats.....One of life's mysteries, I guess. Good luck with the puddle jumper! :tup:Jon boat will be used for other things. Like a moter lol...

On the plus side it should fit right in the trunk of the boat you drive daily. :chuckle:

Also, I don't see the special seats that go with that particular boat or oars? Those items could easily turn it into a $300 purchase. :twocents:

Can't go wrong for $100, however, I had a similar one and if you wish to attach anything to it you are dealing with plastic! You, you're gear (hopefully nowhere near the amount I'm addicted too) and a cooler and that thing is full!! I put mine in the water once and sold it, went with a 12' Alumacraft and modified it to my likings.I have seats, oars, a moter, anchor, everything needed. Just need a few piece's of wood to act as runners for seats and Im good to go. I found the aluminum seat tracks for the boat but theyre $40 a piece. Im handy enough to where I can come up with something. Just need something that floats first :tup:

Welcome to Things That Float Anonymous! You already got it didn't you! I guess it depends on where you want to use it. For example: You might need a couple that size to keep out at the lakes in the pastures and an aluminum one or two to hall around to the pothole lakes, but those canoes are a blast too and that way the kids can do their own thing. And don't forget about the belly boats- there is nothing better than being out fly fishing in one of those at sunrise. But what about skiing and fishing bigger water? Well, then you need a ski boat and everyone knows you can't fish out of a Mastercraft so you will need a real fishing boat also. I'm not admitting to anything here- just sayin'. Maybe I need to go to some meetings :dunno:OR
Maybe we could hang out, and do some fishing :chuckle:
a full size 14-20 foot bayliner style is next on our list, saltwater fishing and crabbing etc. Just hanging out on the wate, would be a blast... We just love the outdoors. I havent picked it up YET, but tomorrow. I am! If I dont like it, HW will be the first place I post it up for sale.

Smossy you need to keep in mind what the term B.O.A.T. stands for :yeah: Oh never mind your hooked :tup: Welcome to the club :hello:Break Out Another Thousand? haha. We had good times in our canoe, Its still sitting in the yard, Just to big and too awkward to try and load and unload. Plus we have a new truck and don't want to mess up the roof. Then the Jon boat still needs some minor repairs. I just want something small, besides my fishing tube/waders/and flippers!

And now this,, even after we stop commercial salmon fishing, I swore I would NEVER own another boat :bash: :bash:Your not convincing me, If I don't like it Ill contact you first :tup: :chuckle:
