[QUOTE="juggernot, post: 410256, member: 10919"] If your doing multi day/camping trips w 2 or more people your're gonna want a larger boat, I would think you'd need a 17' or larger jon boat w room and capacity to carry lot's of weight like water,food,ice, tackle,chairs,tent, Coleman stove etc. etc. Fiberglass boats like the Carolina Skiffs are generally wider and rated to carry more weight/people in comfort and safety than similar length jons. If you're going to travel on some big bodies of water, wind and waves will make an heavily loaded boat dangerous. I personally would get the biggest boat I could afford, then you can bring all the gear to be comfortable while camping and if the weather get's bad on or off the water, w room for the passengers comfort too. 4 stroke motors sip gas and their range is generally farther than 2 strokes.
