I'm in PA. Local lakes are only a couple hundred acres at the most. Trolling motor only. There are also a couple rivers in the area, so it would be nice to have a flat bottom for those areas.
I guess some people are crazy about Jon boats...Never really fished out of one. At least not one I could stand up in and walk around in.
I'd still look at a V bottom boat. Maybe something like an older Starcraft Jet, or similar hull. 15ft long, and the rear is almost a flat bottom.
I'd keep the boat very simple. Flat floor, no decks, and I would put the batteries up front to offset your weight in the back.
This would maintain it's ability to navigate shallow water, and would still be a boat big enough to walk around in and fish out of while standing and casting. |
