What do you guys think is a better choice for a marsh boat... a square stern canoe with oar mounts for places like delta or a small topper jon boat??

depending on where you hunt a deep V 16ft is not out of the question. I would look at a modified V flat bottom boat in at least 16ft.

im going to be hunting in lots of marshes not always that shallow but sometimes very shallow

I'd opt for the square stern canoe with a pair of clamp on outriggers for added stability.

Canoe is ideal for smaller marshes and sloughs, easy to carry in and out, easy to paddle, and with a little balance they are very stable... I would opt for a canoe with a transom for the times you are in areas that allow the use of motors... I have a 17 with a 2.5hp fourstroke that pushes along at about 12mph, nice to have when you want to get across in a hurry...

Buddy and I feel into possession of a 10 ft jon boat last year. For small water, it has been great. We put a little electric trolling motor on the back and it gets us into most places we need to be. However, anywhere where you might experience a chop on the water you would want something bigger.

Just remember you can't use motors in Delta Marsh.

thanks im thinking a square stern would be the best i usually hunt shallow marshes with lots of levees i might need to carry the boat over. and yes i will have to get oar mounts for delta :hunter:

do you roof that canoe on your car or use a trailer
