I am trying to decide if a 10ft or a 12ft aluminum jon boat is best for me!! I live in a uppity neighborhood that will not let me have a trailer in front of the house. The wife has to have her car in the garage and I have a workshop on the other side. I can put a boat in the backyard and will have to carry it solo! I am wanting something that is lite and will ride good in the bed of my truck. The length of the bed is 8' 3" with the tail gate down. I will probably have to go solo on most of the hunts but I might take my dad sometimes. I am worried about a weight issue with 2 people, a lab, and gear. I am leaning towards the 10ft! I will be hunting on slow rivers and floodlands! Any input will be great. Also, what would be a good engine for this?
