Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had a Nucanoe or a small fishing boat. Been interested in one of the two, I'm new to the sport so I'm trying to educate myself with the basics.
Maybe something like this, another fellow member here had this setup,
Keeping in mind, I'm 2wd, and wouldn't want to end up like this guy,

yep, found a few boats that look in alright shape and owners claim to have running engines, engines are expensive though, only 80% of the boats value lol

yah but you dont really need anything bigger than 8hp or so. those boats are light and cut through the water nicely

Just depends on the ramp. How steep, how wet it is from the amount of traffic ect.

An aluminum boat say 14-15 ft no you will have no issues. I have a 2.3 and pull my 14ft with a 25hp Johnson on it. Aluminum boats weigh practically nothing. And for what it cost. Your better off with a aluminum john boat. I have mine and my grandpa has an ancient Indian canoe. He built outriggers for his with big PVC pontoons. It won't tip over even if you tried.

You will be fine even in the steepest ramps, ours is a good 35 degree rise and I pull our 19 foot aluminum centre console out in 2wd even when it's wet

Are you automatic or manual? That will make a difference but should be okay either way. I've got a 12ft Jon boat with a mud motor here in FL.

Re: Nucanoe & Fishing Boats
I have a 16' extra wide, extra deep, still looking for a boat motor for it. but it should be fine to pull with my splash. my brother tows the same size boat with his ranger as well.

That's exactly what I'm looking for man! How much was that? And something light is what I want to avoid slipping on the slimy ramps
