My dad is needing a small 1 or 2 man boat thats easy for him to move in and out of the water with a trolling motor and battery in it. Any aldeer recommendations based on past experiences?

If you can find one a Coleman Crawdad would be a great one man boat.

This all he needs, no motor but i can go anywhere and it cranks everytime.

He is scared he would flip one of those

Ben not sure how old your dad is, but I 'am 59, kayak is very sturdy, wife and I had had them 10 years and never went over and I think we have had some big boats that tried!

He is in his 70s and never kayaked. He has had a small plastic boat for 25 yrs thats now dry rotted. I have a small really narrow jon boat and one of those little cajun boats like a canoe but he just wants one similar to what he got years ago. Says the 2 mentioned make him nervous

Pelican catch 100 ..micro boat specifically designed for a troling motor..there are pricy options available..johnny boats are one..solo skiffs..bote rover..xfish..h skiff..petral..how much you wanna spend..i can literally cover an option from a step above walmart to a custom gheenoe at $23k..seriously tho..the little pelican boat is probly exactly what you requested..big franks outdoors and boats direct are your friend

Have you used any of the ones you listed?

I am an absolute micro skiff/boat nerd..

How bout a paddle boat?

I've got one that I used, trolling motor moves is nicely. If two people fish, you have to fish out the sides.

Used a gheenoe and one similar to the others (i forget the brand and model though)...personally I'd go with the gheenoe because I like the option of being able to put a small outboard on it

Thanks guys I will check them out

Great info thanks. Yeah dont want to spend a ton as it will possibly get stolen. He just needs something failry stable with a higher seat and he just needs to be able to slide it down the bank and pull it back up on the bank when done.

Check out Creekboats. They have several models, some come with a trolling motor package. I got the M98 years ago and set it up for duck hunting. I put a small trolling motor on it and can go about anywhere, I did not go with a seat as I use mine as a layout boat, but I have put my own seat in it and fished just fine. Lightweight is what I liked most.
