[QUOTE="Rodnocker, post: 119689, member: 2312"] With what you are describing, if you can not store it outside, I would go with either a kayak or canoe. A G3 1448 jon boat is going to weigh around 233lbs and is going to be very difficult to lift by yourself. A trailer, in my best guess, is going to weigh close to the same or more. Even if you can lift that much weight, it is going to be very encombersom to lift and move. I personally have a kayak (I'm 6'2" and weigh 250lbs) and I love kayak fishing. The only reason I even bought a tin was so I could take someone with me fishing. I have a 14' kayak with a weight capacity of around 450lbs and it only weighs around 55lbs. I can toss it on the car to go fishing, and when I'm done I can easily carry it back into the garage, hook the ropes to it and pull it (with pulleys) to the ceiling of my garage and it's out of the way.
