    Why do you prefer to use the kayak over the pond prowler? What are the reasons?

    I am looking to buy one of these boats for pond fishing. I can get the Perch Boat for $350 and the Scanoe for $300. I need a stable boat for two people that can be car topped and carried easily.

    Thanks. Did you keep that bass you have a picture of? I also have the option of getting a possibly free Jon boat that is about 12 feet long from my Uncle. I could probably convert it into a bass boat. Should I use the Jon boat and make modifications, or should I buy a plastic mini bass boat?

    The vehicle is not an issue, it is a Toyata Highlander, which is a large SUV. Which brands do you recommend? Pelican, Sun Dolphin, Bass Hunter? I noticed Bass Hunter tends to be a little more expensive. I have been having difficulty finding a place to buy these types of boats beside directboats.com, and they aren't cheap either. I guess no one is too enthusiastic about inflatable then?

    Thank you for the advice Goose52. I would like a very stable boat that I can stand up in to fish. As far as cargo and gear goes, I like to pack light, so that will not be a problem. Just a few rods and a soft tackle box, meaning a canvas bag tackle box, is generally all I will need. I can easily store the boat in my garage. The number of people will be 2. Keep in mind that my partner is my grandpa, who is 75 years old. He needs a stable boat that is comfortable and won't hurt his back or knees after a few hours of sitting in it. I have ruled out the kayaks and canoes. I fish from a canoe when I visit my Uncle's property in Connecticut, but it is extremely tippy, and my grandpa cannot even accompany when I go out because of the unstableness. There is no trolling motor, or outriggers. The pond is about 3 or 4 acres, and even with a little wind, it is very hard for me to move about. Also, what do you mean buy a "PDF". Isn't that an online document? So, based on the information provided, what can you suggest for me to use? Thanks again, you are very helpful.

    Hi, I am looking for a small pond boat that I can use in small lakes and ponds. I want a boat that can handle a small trolling motor, does not need a trailer, and is easy to transport. I have looked at mini bass boats, porta-botes, flatstalker boats, good dog boats, twin troller boats, inflatble boats and jon boats. The main problem that I have though is that I only have $400-$500 to spend. Most of the boats are more, with the port-botes, flatstalkers, good dog boats, and twin troller boats costing upwards of $1000. I have been interested in the Intex Mariner 4. Does anyone have this, and if so, what could you tell me about it? Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I really want to find an inexpensive small boat to use to fish. If there are any local dealers you know of that offer inexpensive pond boats near me, on Long Island, you can mention those as well. Thanks for the help, Ed
