Hello
I have a couple of newbie boat questions. I am going to purchase a 10' to 16' Jon Boat, Semi V, or Deep V alumiun boat, one without casting deck or live wells for that matter. Pretty much a hull of a boat in the next 4 months. I do not have loads of money for this purchase, so an electric motor is what I will be using. Most likely on both the front and the back.
Now keep in mind I have done my reading in many different sites but I feel this is the best site to post my questions. Sorry if they are elementry and all.
With an electric motor I will be boating and fishing Levittown Lake, Core Creek Park, Falls Township Park, and Lake Galena. I would like to do the Delaware but the boats I am thinking about and not having a gas motor limits me. But I guess at least I am on the water.
The boat will be used for fishing, mainly weekend fishing for 2 adults and one child.
Question 1:
If you were me, what type of boat would you buy and what manuafacturer would you use? Even the name of the boat. would help.
Question 2:
Riveted or Welded?
Question 3:
Best electric motor to get both front and back, and what thrust?
Question 4:
Can I eventually add a casting deck and other cool stuff and the boat still be safe?
Question 5:
OK I bought the boat, it just was delivered now what?
I am so sorry to all the questions but if you have any answers to any questions and ones that I am not thinking of PLEASE let me know.
Thank you all in Advance
