If youre going tent footer as has been mentioned, Lowe, tracker and the 1032/1040 boats are a solo boat, no standing up, no big waves, lakes only, no rivers or ocean, and not a ton of capacity before things get really sketch. Made the mistake of shooting my ten gauge off the side, nearly tipper the boat over. I trust canoes a lot more than a 10' jon unless its a journey, marlon or spratly. Flat bottoms dont take waves well, a big boat wake can put water over the gunwales and if you fall over in one, its likely to tip the entire boat over.
