I'll second the vote for the jon boat.
I've had mind for many years and I've
tried to talk myself into selling it but
can't bring myself to do it. 11.5 foot
Sears and it's all the boat I need for
the places I'd bother using any kind of
watercraft. Sold the tube, will sell the
pontoon soon's I can and won't consider
a canoe. Have even had someone give
me a canoe...never used it.

Kayak...hmmm...now that might be the
way to go since my jon weighs 75 lbs.
and I can't put it on a rack. Kayak I could

Cheers,
