I'm looking for a boat I can toss on top of my truck while towing my travel trailer. My first thought was a canoe, but my wife isn't a canoe fan (too tipy). I thought about my old 14' Sears aluminum boat, but without even attempting it I'm guessing it will be too heavy.
It'll be for putting around on small to mid sized lakes. It would have my 9.9 Johnson and/or 44lb Minn Kota pushing it. Ideally it's big enough for 2 adults and two 50 lb dogs and 100 pounds or under. Also, I'd like to find it used nice and cheap.
I see a lot of old aluminum skiffs around. How much does a 10-12 footer weigh? Any other suggestions? I don't think I want an inflatable.
Thougts?
