[QUOTE="thill, post: 502926, member: 4972"] I also recommend a 14-16' boat. A light, bunk-style boat will easily float in 6" of water with you in it. The smaller the boat, the more it sinks with a load. A longer and wider boat will barely feel it. My current 16' floats shallower when loaded down than the 12' Lowe I sold earlier this year. That boat was a 1248, nice and wide, and it looked great, but it did NOT like me, batteries, trolling motor, fuel tank and 9.9 Mercury on the back. [ATTACH type="full"]116382[/ATTACH] My bro in law has a 16' Tracker flat bottom that the kids carry down to the lake. Super shallow drafting. It might be the "topper" series, not sure, but that would be perfect for your needs. It can hold 4 people and not bust a sweat. Sorry, I don't have a pic [/QUOTE]
