[QUOTE="drider, post: 238156, member: 7453"] Hi all, I'm in the market for another aluminum boat to hit the lakes with! I had a 13' valco aluminum boat, it was a great boat I could stand up and fish, along with my fishing buddy also. It was stable as heck to my standards didn't feel like it would tip over or anything like that. My question is, I'm in the market for a used boat and I have to be open to many potential boats such as 12' aluminum boats and jon boats. So that is my main question I know jon boats have a flat hull, what is the characteristics of a flat hull jon type boat? Will I be able to stand up and fish from it? Will I be able to carry total of three anglers and a dog like I did on my 13" valco and enjoy the water/ fishing? Lastly, does anyone transport their boat whether it's a 12' aluminum boat or a jon boat behind their pick up trucks bed? So how are jon boats vs. a typical 12-14' Gregor, Valco, Klamath aluminum V hull boat? [/QUOTE]
