Well... grew up fishing from canoes and jonboats. Got the Stratos for the big water. Canoes are great if I am by myself. Can't stand fishing from a canoe with someone especially if they are a "canoebie". I just refuse to canoe anymore with someone who stands up in one when they are the type who can't stand up on solid ground without wobbling and has an even harder time listening to what they are being told. As for jonboats... great on the river especially if there is someone to help load and unload. By myself on a pond... well... Doc says I am going to throw my back out one day lifting the jonboat. So... I broke down and snagged a 2007 Bass Raider off Craigslist for $275.00 and a Motorguide transom mount motor for another $75.00. Needs to be cleaned but looks and runs great. Now... customization....

There is another thread just for bass raiders there a lot of ideas for customizing in it too
