[QUOTE="Gators5220, post: 260008, member: 7298"] Why are you going to buy a new boat to drag it over hard rocks and what not? Not to mention if your trying to pull and lift a boat I'd go lighter than even the 250lb item, you gotta think that e-tec is what another 75-100lbs? adding a deck another 50-100lbs some gear, gps, ice chest, etc another say 50lbs...it all adds up...you could find a used john boat of around 14 ft cheap too...new motor that's your call if you want reliability and what not. Just my thoughts. Plus I believe there are a few companies that make super light high strength aluminum boats for this type of operation as well as for sail boats where you have to pull the boat onto the sailboat. They call them alumi-lites or something of that order...look it up. Just my thoughts.. [/QUOTE]
