[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 371654, member: 7376"] If the 2 of you fish together, you will want a bigger boat. I have fished out of a 1232 before and it made me nervous with just me in it. Fished with my brother, who is about 200 lbs (I'm 180), just a 40 lb Minn Kota and a 27 series battery. That was really dicey. Scarey even. We did it but if anyone came by and made any wake we had to be on our toes. And that also meant if the wind was blowing, we were not to be on the water. A 10' would be even worse. I know a guy who is not quite all there, fishes out of a 10' boat. Hauls it in back of his van. Guy is well over 400 lbs, probably closer to 1/4 ton. He puts the spare tire out of his van in the front of the boat for counterweight and paddles around. It has maybe a couple inches of boat out of the water and you never see him lean to one side to grab a fish. [/QUOTE]
