I used to own a 1432 jon boat, found it on the river and the landowner didn't claim it. So I did. Didn't know what I was gonna do with it so I left it on the bank until I could figure a way to get it home. AKA borrow a truck.
A few days later I'm stomping through the woods of a 40 acre tract that the house I was renting was on. I find a 9.8 Mercury outboard. Immediately put 2 and 2 together but still couldn't figure out how to haul the boat without a trailer. On my way to work the next day I pass a guy who had a 2 man plastic boat in the back of his Ford Ranger. Hmm...wonder if a 1432 will fit in my El Camino?
Yes. I think a 1436 would've fit.
I fished out of that boat for a number of years, well until I rolled the truck (or car, or whatever it's called...Kark? Cruck?). I'd put the transom side into the bed and slide it in. Put the outboard in the back of the boat, on the floor of the motor well behind the rear seat. It holds the boat down so I can tie it in. Tank fit just in front of the seat. Tackle fit on the floor wherever I could get it. It was a cheap (free) rig that served me VERRY well until I could get on my feet. I gave it away to a guy who's wife had a stroke and went home; and he used it the best he could exactly as I did.
Honestly I think I caught more and better fish out of that rig than I did out of my 'glass boat, or the 1542, or the current 1548 combined. But I think part of that may be that I was able to sneak that boat into private ponds without needing a ramp.
