X-Shark (8/5/2008)I'm not big on the idea of a standard 14ft Jon boat. It's fine for backwater, but crossing any of our Bays can be dangerous and it will beat th hell out of you with any chop.
A Big welded alum with high sides would be ideal. I'd want a little V in the bow to help smooth the ride across the Bay.

I obviously have to agree with Bobby! I'm running an 18' aluminum LakeSport center console, 90hp four stroke Yammie, 12V bow mount Minn Kota, and as we speak installing a new 12V light system (I like the quiet). It's also great for mullet (net) fishing, generalinshore fishing, and I even sneak out the pass on good days. Floats in spit, sips gas, and handles chop better than my old Carolina Skiff 198DLX (also a GREAT giggin' rig). PLUS it fits in my workshop, and NO WAXING! I think I'm in love!
