[QUOTE="topgun15v, post: 211769, member: 4137"] Ok, I have seen many sweet mods on this website and others so here is my story. I don't have that much money right now, but love to fish. In Texas I mostly fish smaller lakes and go camping a lot. I am looking for something to get me out onto the water under $1200 with motor. What is everyone's opinion of fishing a 10ft jon boat? I have heard many stories of how unstable they are, but what if I made low decks? The reason I am looking for a smaller 10ft is so that I can throw it in the back up my Tacoma truck bed and still haul a pop up camper. Any input is appreciated. Thanks! Pros 1. Small and lightweight to fit in truck bed 2. Can get to hard to reach places on the lake 3. Cheap Cons 1. Tippy? 2. A hassle pulling in and out of water 3. Lack of storage/space [/QUOTE]
