Ok I just sold my 18 Foot Jon Boat because it was too Big for most places I went.I have a 12 Foot Jon Boat which is a little Small but doable.I have kicked around getting a 14 Footer,may do it when I get the money.
Bass Pro has Minn Kota 30 Pound Trust Trolling motor for just over $100,has a Good warrenty and all.If you have Oars they will work,need Lights,Whistle,PFD's and a Throw Chusion.
Oh at one time I had me,my Wife,3 Kids and a bunch of Camping Gear in the 12 footer,going upstream against the current,did just fine.
Here is a pic of my Son setting in my 12 footer on the river.
Here is one of me.
