My name is Brian live in NE oklahoma Have always fished ponds and strip pits mainly from the bank. Have decided to get a jon boat or something like a scamp What would you guys prefer? I plan on fishing ponds , creeks , pits and some coves I'm roughly 270 lbs and most buddies that would go with me are over 200 lbs would a 14 ft jon be my best best considering the weight that will be in it . How stable are they and best brand to buy ? Has anyone hauled a 14 ft in a truckbed ? Any advice would be helpful Thanks a lot
