oneshot Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Ok I have a 12 foot Wide Bottom Jon Boat,Trolling Motor and trailer.But Boat is small enough you can throw it in the back of the Pickup.The Boat seems Stable,me and my Son have been in it and I have stood up on the front rocked it around didn't act liked it wanted to flip. Ok I'm really thinking this Boat will work for what ever I want on the river even Gigging.But would I really gain anything getting a 14 foot Jon with Jet Drive? Keep in mind I'm on fixed income. oneshot
bclift65706 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 you would gain alot not having to drag the boat through most of the riffels but you might gain some holes in your boat like I do on the niangua almost sunk in mine at leadmine last year took about 30 seconds. But you would like the jet drive my buddy has a 14 ft 20 hp jet for $2500 ready to go. How is the water at leadmine clear of still dirty. The forecast calling for rain for the next 5 days Gigging season opens monday will probley mess it up.

Looks like I have this Boat for awhile.I tried to get some money off my wife today to get it Registerd and she said I had to wait on that. oneshot
bclift65706 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 september usually is not good for gigging anyway the water clears up in October pretty good I wish the conservation would open season a month later and leave it open a month longer.
