[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 510157, member: 32586"] Don't think I'd buy a jon unless I planned to take it out into the swamp or creeks. Never had one, but bet they don't handle all the well, probably not a lot of fun. I have a 14' deep V MirroCraft that came with an 18HP Fastwin. It goes really good, gets right up on plane, is very stable, and would prob pull a skier. The downside is it's not really easy to walk in, but not too bad if you're halfway agile. A floor could be added pretty easily. I tell you what though, it would be heaped over with 3-4 people and camping supplies. THAT is what I think is going to be your main problem. Maybe this is a dumb idea, but is it feasible to pull an inflatable raft behind you? If you only camp once in awhile that would maybe be smarter than buying a really big boat. [/QUOTE]
