Thanks all for the responses. Belly boats and toons are out. It's all I can do to carry a fly rod right now but a yak or nu-canoe can be kept in the mooring slip I rent at the local State Park. I just found out I can get a Nu-canoe at a local outfitter for under $1,000 brand spanking new!

I had forgotten all about these guys even though I drive past them quite often:

They even have a nice write up in their news letter about their new line up of Nucanoe. Nice thing about them is that I can schedule a demo and they do take trade ins. I am off to the lake for a few hours to try some photography, sorry but the back is too sore for fishing today. Going to be sitting a lot in my new to me wheels. 2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium should be able to handle any yak or canoe with ease:



Nice to have a little luxury for once even if it is already broken in.
