I feel like I can but know it will be tight. I want to get more into duck hunting and my only option is public land. If so my thoughts would be places like the Biloxi marsh wma or PAC and use my 15 foot Jon boat to get into the areas and anchor it and dump the pirogue into the water to get real skinny.

Anybody do this successfully and can make me feel better about buying one? I hate to get one and immediately regret it finding out it’s just not doable.

you need a offset to hang it over off the side or pull it behind.

Yeah no problem I used to load a 14ft into a 16ft 40hp with a lab dekes and one other person.

hopefully you aren’t talking about crossing lake borgne in a fully loaded jon boat in the dark, during the winter. That would be asking for a bad time

I fit a 12’ in my 14’ flat bottom easily.

No if I do it it would be launching from Hopedale marina and going through Bayou La Loutre at a pretty slow speed.

Thanks everyone for input. I thought about pulling it behind too and may be my backup plan if I get one and it’s too awkward to ride with it in there. It’s not that long of a run. But ideally would want to be able to try other areas and possible longer runs and just have the option. I think I can make it work.
