Should I get a jon boat or canoe? Have looked at both with good and bad reviews. I plan to take it around the bay and in rivers.

Probably will be in the back of truck. If a jon boat we have a 9.9 hp johnson. If a canoe we will probably use paddles.

If you put a motor on it, you will have to have a title and have to register it every year. Canoe, you have none of those issues if all you do is paddle.

Ok thanks, so is it worth getting a jon boat? I have had expirience in both and canoes are much more unstable than a jon boat. Does that matter in the bay?

Depends on what you mean by "in the bay"? In backwaters and marshes, I'd look at a yak or canoe. ICW and similar, I'd look at a jon boat for the stability. In the bay, I'd be looking for a bigger boat. But that's me.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

I mean backwater and ICW so I was leaning towards a Jon boat.
Thanks
