The Wife and I are recently retired. We've just moved nw of St Louis. It's been a ton of years since doing bit of fishing, but would like to get back into it. Fishing locales will likely be the streams/creeks/rivers, ponds, and small lakes of the area.
I've owned a couple canoes, but no boats. Given the inexorable advance of time, I think it's time we "graduated" to a boat.
So I've come to the knowledge base of this forum for some sage advice!
Following seems to be our requirements/needs (in no particular order):
** shallow draft ... for those streams/creeks/rivers
** room for 2 adults ... ie 400 lbs.
** easy to unload/load from trailer
** STABLE
So ...... what's your advice re boat type and size?
Am looking forward to all the advice/reasonings ya'll are willing to provide!
