What do yall think is the best. I have been looking at both but can't put a finger on witch one i like best. Does anyone have any personal experience with them. I like the b-52 and 60 river hawk. What do yall think.
Unless your going to be staying on small rivers and creeks I'd get a john boat, especially if you have young ones and a wife going with you. A few years ago when we had one we lost it in the flint river one cool spring afternoon when we went down the river. Thats not all we almost lost to, if my wife and son wouldn't have had their life jackets on I would have lost them also. I figured out then we weren't indians and we might need a real boat. Now don't get me wrong, I still have a canoe (not a gheenoe) but we only go with it on small waters to small for the john boat, mostly I use it for hunting when I need to cross a creek or something. Get you a john boat , you will be glad you did.
I am actually thinking about selling my Bass Boat and getting a Gheenoe.
Are you going to be up at outdoor world doing any seminars this weekend?
i have a b-60 river hawk and love it. we put decks in it and carpet. we also put a floor in the bottom with carpet. its the best small boat there is. i would recommend a riverhawk over an aluminum jon boat. a jon boat is VERY unstable compared to the river hawk. two grown adults can stand on the side of the river hawk and jump up and down and it wont budge. if you do that with an aluminum jon boat you'll flip it. people look at the river hawk and dont think much of it. until they get in it and fish out of it they cant knock it. the very best and most stable small boat there is. we even put it in lanier (of course in the north end) and do just fine. we run around in sardis creek and ada creek and have no problems what so ever. i highly recommend it.
