[QUOTE="user 6672, post: 372681, member: 6672"] Ive owned and ran both a light boat and a heavy jet on the upper Miss.. I went from a 1648 alumacraft jon with a 30 Johnson jet to a Alweld 1856 JC with a 115 Merc. They both have there pros and cons but if I were still fishing the upper Miss (Little Falls - Monticello) I'd stick with the lighter boat. Drafted less during trolling and floating and was easier to manage on my own. If you get hung up solo with the heavier rig be prepared to dig n winch n pray to get it off a sand bar etc.. Ive been there too.. We all make mistakes and will hit eventually.. I Fish the Red River primarily now and thoroughly enjoy the bigger rig for it.. [/QUOTE]
