I want a boat to use in the small river close to home. I dont fish much except when the white bass run or ocassionaly like to go catch a bunch of smallies in the river. Ive used a Jon Boat for floating and fishing but have never used a two man plastic boat like a Pelican Raider or Bass pro Pond Prowler. Has anyone used these two man boats in the river? How deep do they set in the water? How stable are they? I just want something that will fit in the back of the truck and doesnt require a trailer that I can load/unload myself or with a buddy and throw a trolling motor on it and fish for a while. If I get a plastic boat it will be a 9 or 10 ft model but I dont know which brands are the best. I just want to know if they are more comfortable for fishing out of than a jon boat and if they can handle the small fast water areas in the river without having to carry it all the time?
