I'm looking for a Jon boat that will slip into my '03 Toyota Tacoma bed that has a Snugtop canopy.
We've got 40 inches between the wheel wells, which will accept the chine width found in a lot of different jon boats but a limiting factor on the beam at the gunnels is the latching mechanism for the back window of the canopy. There is 47 inches between the latch metal on each side. Many of the newer 10 ft. Jon boats are too beamy to fit in there.
For stability, I want the biggest boat I can slip in there on its bottom between the wheel wells. Maybe you folks can point me in the right direction as far as likely brands, used or new.
Thanks
