Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Light boat

Is there a one person boat that's commerically available that is light enough for 1 fairly strong man to handle by himself to do things in a pond? I don't want a kayak. Just want to throw it on the back of the truck, and drive down to the pond. I want to use it to fish or place structure in the pond.

Small Jon boats are easy.

We have a fiberglass kayak. Much lighter and easier to carry than a Jon boat.

If you have just one pond that you plan to fish look at the mini pontoon boats. Put it in and never take it out. They can't fill up with rain water, never sink, have a platform comfortable for standing without tipping, and has room for fish structures in transit. Absolutely love ours!

I also have a 10 foot jon that very seldom gets used. I have flipped it over and found a skunk and various types of snakes. I do it and jump back now.

Shooter, have you ever considered tube fishing? Unlike the simple inner tubes of yesteryear, some of the modern ones are pretty nice.
