I've fished out of one and two person kayaks, fiberglass canoes, a couple different brands of "pond hopper" type boats. The best BY FAR I have used is the Buster Boat brand that is built in Perry Oklahoma. The canoe catches too much wind, kayaks you cant stand, both of these tend to turn towards the bait when fishing larger crankbaits. The Buster Boat is too heavy to load into the back of a pickup by yourself. I use the factory trailer but a small utility trailer would work just as well. A rudder that swings up will help keep you going straight and also swings up in the shallow stuff. Google buster boats to get more of their information. Also look on the fishing home page for articles Ralph Manns has written about customizing small boats. Hope this helps
