I did a post a couple of years ago about my second go-to boat used to fish small ponds and larger streams such as the
This is the 10 ft. version,
which has more compartments and 1 ½ ft. more floor space and has the handy fold-down seats. I know I am going to be dealing with more weight when it comes to
handling this boat versus the 8 ft. This boat weighs in at 131 lbs. compared to
the 8 ft. which weighs in at 95 lbs. I feel I could handle the added 36 lbs.
because I am only lifting the one end of the boat up to slide into the back of
my truck. I think it would be different if I was pulling or trying to carry
this boat some distance. As my Grandson gets older I am going to need a bigger
boat to carry him and his Dad in a boat that is really stable and floats high
in the water. This boat will do just that, especially floating streams and a
large tailrace. I am going to make a trip to our local Academy Sports in Birmingham soon to actually see the boat up close and even lift
it before I make my final decision. It always good to plan ahead for the upcoming season.
