For all of my pond fishing I use my small 9 - 11 ft 2 man bass boat from either Basspro shops or from Sams club. My 11 ft one has a small live well and has all of the hookups for a trolling motor and takes up to a 7 hp motor. Not bad for only $699. It is my most used boat. I have a full size ranger and a 19 ft fish and ski blue fin but my small boats are my fav for pond and creek and river fishing ( which is most of what I do )
