If you've ever fished on the front of a boat with a comfortable seat and a foot-contol trolling motor you'd understand. Course, I do know a guy who stands the whole time and doesn't sit. Just no way I could be comfortable in that thing, fishing.



I see what you're saying. Definitely not ideal for an all day fishing trip. But for just 2-3 hours of putting around it would be fine for me. With the hard floor on the Mariner, I could put in a fishing seat if I really wanted.




The cost of the aluminum boat plus the trailer, plus having to use someone else's property to store it just won't work for me at the moment unfortunately.

If I were in an apartment and looking for an inflatable boat to fish in I would look for one of the hybrid style inflatable boats.

They make sailboat dinghy's with hard bottoms and inflatable walls. Here is an example from a very quick google search Zodiac Zoom

The Zodiac's are pretty tough and a new one might be outside of your price range however I am sure you could catch a deal in the used market.

I have seen people fish out of these things all around Florida. They are very durable and if you end up getting a motor (electric or gas) they will absolutely fly.

Good luck to you.
