[QUOTE="Allen, post: 460000, member: 389"] Juan, It's a bold step to go away from such a nice fishing rig as your ProV and depend on a Toon for all your boating and fishing needs. Sounds like a pretty nice toon you are considering, I am guessing it's at least a 22 ft ride, or probably a 24 footer. On Sakakawea, I wouldn't hesitate at all to go with a 22+ foot tritoon running that many horses. That toon will be plenty safe and comfortable up to about 3 ft waves so long as you are running into or with them. As far as loading onto a bunk trailer. I'm not going to say it's as easy as my Lund on a roller trailer, but you will get it figured out. In all reality, I am just about as fast at loading the toon so long as there isn't a lot (15+ mph) cross winds. In those situations the toon's rear will sometimes want to float off to the side of the bunks. I would have gone to just a toon several years ago except I don't want to have to fish the Missouri river in the spring on the toon. As the kids are now entering college and I no longer have to regularly skipper 6 people out fishing, I may upgrade to one of those sparkly boats in the near future, but am quite sure if I go that route that I will miss the toon during the summer lake fishing season.
