Welcome to the forum. I own the 17' Landau paddle jon you probably saw on google search (Bought it from a forum member in Springfield). I don't use it much for family floats. You have to tow it, and I tow a travel trailer on most family trips. It's great boat for two people to cover allot of water on an overnight to 3 day down river float. Its rated for 6hp, but I use a a 55lb thrust trolling motor. Very stable, pretty light for its size....120lbs or so Dimensions are 17'x47" with a 32" bottom. Rake at both ends, and a raised transom in the back. Blazer and Lowe used a plate instead of the raised transom. Really comfy when you put the swivel seats in. I put some NRS oar towers & locks on it and it will row like a drift boat (but my 7.5' oars take up a ton of space), even have a rowing seat for it. Good duck boat too.
