[QUOTE="Frogman Ladue, post: 265204, member: 8253"] The best performance for the buck is get something 14' or longer, with a trailer, off of craigslist. If you're dead set on a pick-up bed boat, 12' x36" (probably the only size that will fit) flatbottom john boats can be found new at various Cabelas and Bass Proshops for around $600-700. I'd say the flat bottom john boats are the best for your needs. The flat bottoms give better stabilitiy and allow the little guys the ability to walk around. Anything with a V-bottom, that is small enough to fit in a pick-up is going to be rather tippy. Craigslist will get you more stuff for the money, but no guarantees the boat won't leak, and that the motor works. New is very expensive, but offers the piece of mind of stuff that will work, right outta the box. If you have to buy new stuff, Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop allow you to ship as "gift packages" that are just plain brown boxes with out any incrimnating, sooper-dooper mega store labeling. [/QUOTE]
