You can get a 10' aluminum which should fit in the back of your truck and probably only weigh around 80# I've seen some sitting at the local BP that didn't cost to much but I dont know how well they are built. Look at the Tracker website under jon /utility boats

Matt 5.0 I have one of those crawdads also...been through a few bass boats over the years but have always put the crawdad to good use...

I dont see many pro's paying full price for thier boats or tow vehicles...But what I do see are true hardcore fisherman buying what they can afford be it a boat or tow vehicle just to get on the water to fish... I also see alot of "wannabe's" who think they are a pro over-spending on their boat and tow vehicle just to fish 1 weekend a month

I just bought a Citica myself but haven't tried it out yet...looks and feels comparable to my green curado's..time will tell

Around here you see alot of Tacomas,Rangers/mazda's pushing 200,000 miles..I dont think you can go wrong with any of the mentioned trucks.. Get it optioned out like you want it and they should keep you happy for a very long time

I had a Colorado for less then a year...had alot of problems with it and it had a weak engine..search the internet for reviews on the Colorado's.. I would not pull my 16' Ranger Cherokee with it because of braking issue's Stick with the Tocoma or a Ranger

Mine dont have the maximizer...but I use to have a 30# TM and it would drain the battery after a day of fishing at full thrust..I switched to the 55# and the battery only drains to about half...Maybe because the 30# was causing to much heat at full is why it was draining the battery ??

I have a Coleman Crawdad and use a Minn Kota 55# trolling motor on the back.With a big "good" battery I can last all day...Go with the biggest thrust TM you can afford..It is more efficient to run at half power then to use a smaller thrust at full power
