Thread: Small boat advice and options

I had a 10ft Parkercraft for a number of years , easily launched by myself or a mate , had it on a car trailer or back of a ute, 6hp johnson ,great until said motor blew a headgasket codding and I had to row a fair way back to shore certainly put things in perspective, next purchase was a handheld radio and a beacon , upgraded to a pontoon dinghy similiar to a Fewza/stabicraft with a 30hp , I made an extension bar for the trailer which gave me more reach but dont use it where I launch from now . Certainly feel a lot safer but miss out on portability, still easy to launch by myself at boatramp and great for fishing and diving out of . wish I had gone this way earlier. my 2cents worth . good luck on your search
