I am a big guy, 360lbs, just wondering how I can get me and a buddy, 240lbs, and our gear out onto small ponds and bays in a boat for as cheap as possible because we are both college students. Anyone know of a cheap jonboat or canoe that holds that much weight???

I wouldn't hunt out of a canoe if I was you that's a lot of weight and moving around, so unless your a pretty good hand with one as is your buddy then I'd go with a flat bottom. About a 16 foot would be good. That being said you can rig them with out riggers like some of the ocean going island folks use. I'd use metal pipe and at least a 4-6" pvc pipe.

jbird, good advice. cAny, now your talkin 700lbs so go for a boat that can hold 1000lb preferably 1200. It's you boys life but I been in that situation, and don't wear your insulated coveralls while in boat. LOL but I was stupid enough to do that once.
