How big of a jon boat would be needed to comfortably bow fish with 2-3 people and still be stable enough? I was looking for a 1448 Jon boat but a lot of the used ones that are sold locally are only 42" wide. Not sure if I should just pull the trigger or hold out for a 48" wide Jon boat.
I have a 14 foot V that I can comfortably shoot with two guys and two barrels for each of us. Three guys would be pushing it for room, and weight.
Wider is more stable. I use a 1860 and would consider it minimum for three people. But any boat is better than no boat.
I have a 1448 for sale that is all setup for bowfishing if your interested. It comes with 74 thrust minn kota trolling motor, 12 50 watt led lights, 40 horse motor, and a all aluminum deck.
