Re: Jon boat vs v haul
Boats are all about compromise. You just need to figure which compromises are important to you.
A V-hull is way better when pointed directly into waves but will get blown around just like your canoe or a jonboat if you are travelling across the wind.
I bought a 14' jonboat years ago for duck hunting and use it all summer up at the cabin. I load and unload it myself all the time without much hassle. It is a rough ride in any sort of waves but nice and stable. I think it is only rated for 360 lbs but I don't think twice about exceeding that by a significant amount. The seats are filled with foam so it won't sink even if it is swamped.
