[QUOTE="mmf, post: 214750, member: 4379"] I would try to find a Jon boat that has a 48 inch wide floor instead of a 36 inch one, much more stable. I have had MANY jon boats in my life and I am speaking from experience here. There are many good brands and some of the best are Monark, Sea Ark, G3 etc, alot of the older hulls used thinner guage aluminum (0.60"-0.80") in their construction and the more modern manufacturers used 0.100"- 0.125" thick aluminum, the latter being VERY stout boats and means much when thinking about the boat "flexing" when fully loaded in rough water. I hope you find a nice one! :D [/QUOTE]
