I'll be hunting rivers and lakes that have public marshes in them. Iwill be trailering the boat and only occasionally will we have to muscle iton and off. If need be we will take the engine and gas tank etc. off for that situation. I may also be hunting Lake Ontario (big water) occasionally. But I will be picking my days and stayingvery close to shore. I may just be using the boat to get from the shore to isolated points, marshes that can't be walked to. There is a fair amount of public land availbale for that style of hunting around here.
