Took the plunge on a pretty high end JonBoat for pond fishing. Wife saw the typical Jons I was looking at and sold me on stability and safety with young folks in boat. Got a year old model so saved about $600. Found an awesome used Trailer that was used to haul a Champion 17 foot Bass Boat and scored it for $400 bucks. Now Im on to fabricating a lift mechanism of sorts so I can leave it by the dock but hold it up out of the water...will have a foot control bow mount MinnKota
Boat:
trailer
May add a depth finder if I think it could help find brush piles and structure
Have to figure out seats and all that as well
Now I need warm weather
