Jon Boat

I used to haul a 10' Pelican Bass Raider in my 5' bed all the time.

 

A flat bottom boat rides like shit, but is very stable. A V boat cuts through the waves, but when stationary also rocks in the waves, or when a person is moving around in it.
You are comparing different size boats. A longer boat will also be wider in the sizes you are looking at.

 

Do you have a harbor freight out there in AZ, if not look it up online. They have trailers cheap and you can build it for what you need.

 

We do and i searched on their website but I didn't see a trailer for 16ft boat there.

 

Lol. Yeah they have small trailer. Typically 4 x 8 maybe a little bigger

 

Won't fit a 16ft boat

 

You could have the tongue cut and stretched. I know kayakers that have done that. By that point CL may be cheaper though.

 

heres our boat. I didnt notice the colors were all out of whack but you get the idea. The front seat has a "redneck" umbrella holder I made, for my wife

 

Towing with the Ford?

Looks nice man. I bet she hauls ass with that motor. 20 HP?!!

 

lol yeah, I got my drop hitch on mine so when we go camping I'll tow the trailer and my wife can tow the boat...or vice versa...

 

I figured I'd spend the money, may as well get it decent power...the hull says up to 35 hp!WTH!! I havent broken the engine in all the way but even at 3/4 throttle it moves decent.

 

I want a job boat!!! Perfect for the lakes.

 

So have 5 foot bed. Going to get a new Lowe Jon boat, trailer isn’t an option due to no boat ramps where will be launching into river. I want the most stable boat I can get so thinking 10 or 12 if can haul it. Will be getting bed extender for the hitch. I know can do the 10 wondering if anyone has any thoughts if 12 is possible. Thanks
