I’m looking for a boat for use in the Oconee river near Dublin.
Ive set my loose requirements as.
1. Small enough to handle load/unload by myself.
2. With #1 in mind I’m looking at a 14/42 riveted Jon boat with a 20 hp 4 stroke.
3. I’m going with stick steering from a forward seat.
4. I’ll mount a trolling motor in the future.
Any input would be appreciated.
As additional information I’ve thought of a larger motor/boat but that involves more weight and more cost. I don’t want to go to big as I am not as young as I used to be and I’ve handled larger boats before and I know my limits.
I’ve not fished this river as yet, but I do have a fair history of fishing and running a diversity of boats.
Thanks for any input.
