One acre pond, maybe 15 feet deep at deepest point but probably 5-10 feet deep on average. Was stocked with channel cats and a few bass, turned over last summer and pretty much killed everything in it. It's time to add aeration, restock, and maybe build a floating pier, maybe drop in some structure. But first things first -- to accomplish this I am convinced I need a "maintenance boat". Don't plan to fish from it, don't plan to spend a lot of money on it, I just want a stable platform to work from while I measure depth and drop aerators and such. I'm thinking a 10 to 12 foot aluminum jon boat, and a pole to move it around seems adequate. I'm not a boat guy. Advice and recommendations for a maintenance boat would be much appreciated.

Thanks & Blessings
