Greeting y'all. I'm interested in getting a low cost jon boat or skiff. This would be for a 2-person operation, wife and I, and locations like West End, Christmas Bay, inland shallows like Clear Creek, Lost & Old, Trinity Bay.
Questions I have are:
(1) Length
(2) Engine hp/displacement
(3) General setup for seating, standing, wells for equipment, bait, etc.
(4) Rivets or weld? Why?
I take it most here use these boats to get to a wading location and then get out of the boat and wade. I have wade fished (rivers, surf), I have boat fished (lakes & ocean), but I have never gotten out of a boat to wade fish in the inland shallows.
I take it that wade fishing at Lost & Old is not safe due to alligators (?).
Thanks for any suggestions.
