This boat is made of fiberglass. This makes it one of the best shallow water jon boats because it can also be used in salt water. The v-shaped bow allows it to run the surface easier in choppy water. This two-seater is twelve feet long and weighs only 140 pounds. It has a non-skid interior.
On the plus side: Light boats with small outboards can go all day on amazingly little fuel. Case in point: My Hobie 15 with a Yamaha 50 (two-stroke) can run far offshore, troll all day and return with plenty of fuel to spare in the two 6-gallon portables under the console.
