[QUOTE="TriBull, post: 502858, member: 32176"] How you plan to use it makes all the difference. Given your size, a 12” boat “might” work if you are planning to be the only passenger and use oars or just an electric trolling motor for propulsion. But add another passenger and/or a motor and you definitely need to consider a 14” boat at least. Regarding a Jon vs V-hull, if you expect to always be on flat water with little to no other boats around, a Jon works great. But if you might be in some chop or expect some other boat wakes, I’d seriously consider a V-hull. As for specs on a used boat, I suggest taking your time to look at what’s available - You’ll know it’s the right boat when you see it! Good luck! Let’s us know when you find something… [/QUOTE]
