Thread: Small boat advice and options

So I am sure there are a few boaties on this site. I am looking at getting a small boat for fishing out of. 12 footer or close to that. Inshore fishing in nice weather and sea conditions for two people. I am a nice conditions fisherman. Launch off beach (carried or trollied to water) and away from boat ramps needed. Must be light enough to handle easily and really portable. I want something simple and easy to use. I have looked at the inflatibles but think they might be a little too dodgy around rocks etc. I don't want a standard tinnie. I like the look of pontoon boats. I have looked at the Mac360 and really like that. It is on the heavy side but cant see anything lighter that ticks the boxes. They seem very stable and robust. What do people think? Any options I have missed or pitfalls I haven't thought about? Also wondering about centre versus tiller steer. I don't want bigger or expensive. Thanks folks. This will be interesting. Cheers
