I have a 2013 Tracker Topper 1036. Its 9' 10" long and 36" wide. I run a Minn Kota Endura C2 it has 30 lbs. of thrust. I don't think i would take it on a big river but it works great on lakes no mater what size. My friend and i weigh about 525 lbs. combined weight. The motor pushes us along at a good speed and it has been really stable. If its just two people and lakes are your main fishing spot a 10" boat does a great job. Very easy to transport without a trailer. If you have to do any walking with the boat to get to your lake you'll love this boat.
