I take a ride in my 12 foot flat bottom aluminum jon boat. Is a jon boat worth it or is this small boat too tiny for my area and what I use a boat for? I take my tiny boat with the Mercury 2.5 outboard 2 stroke motor out for a few hours to help determine if I'm keeping this little aluminum flat bottom boat. A little 12 ft jon boat or john boat can be great in creeks and is simple and easy to deal with but does a tiny flat bottom aluminum boat meet my little boat needs?
