I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on the purchase of a good 2-man or 1-man fishing boat?

I have a 10 foot pelican scamp and love it. Fish out of it more than my big boat.

Weight is the issue, need to figure out if ur going to load it in the back of of ur truck or haul it on a trailer. I had a basshunter that was incredible and I could load in my truck by myself.

I've seen advertisements for the twin troller. Looks pretty good to me.

I have the Pelican Bass Raider 10. Love it. My son and I fish in it. We both hit 250#. I honestly don't think you can turn this thing over. We use a 40# trolling motor.
I own a Twin Troller X10. Nothing on the market compares to it, A high quality safe boat.Quote:

A lot of good brands out there, like the bass hunters, Bass Pro pond prowlers etc. Depends on the expectations of the use of the boat I guess, the pro to the one I chose was the lightweight, at 100# I can load it and unload from the bed of my pickup. I have fished from the boat 25 times or more and only launched two or three times off pavement or a ramp. Usually it's launched from the water's edge in grass, dirt or mud and didn't want a trailer. If your fishing two men mostly I would suggest going up to a 10' boat, and if launching from ramps or accessible landings as well, the 8 foot boat is cramped with two men and gear. Stable little boats that's for sure, handle rougher water better then a 16' jon boat I used to fish from.
