I fish rivers for the most part but would like something a little larger. Last weekend I was in Missouri and the Gasconade rose 5 feet as we packed up. The 14' Jon was loaded heavy with gear and I didn't make the last turn! Got sideways and swamped it. No chance to retrieve boat or my 7.5 horse outboard. I really wanted to but the back of the boat was probably 4 feet under water. I thought it was too risky to go under that tree in that much current so a simply floated away leaving it. The good news is gear wise I save just about everything and no one was hurt so really just the boat and motor.
I have owned ranger bass boats but I want to stay with aluminum and no bigger tha 15/16 feet. Probably welded as opposed to rivet but while I want bigger to hold more gear comfortably I still want a shallow running boat so I can still take it on the river. I would like to up the motor to 15/20 horse. Ideal would be a 15/48 tunnel and the run a jet drive but that is probably more than I want to spent. What. Are some good shallow boats that aren't too heavy in the 15 foot length. I have research the tracker grizley and lowes as well.
