My wife and I are looking to replace out 16' aluminum fishing boat for next year. We are on a lake lot now and didn't want the drive down the road to the boat launch and a dock and boat lift did not interest us at all.

We area about a 2 min walk down the water edge with enough sandy beach area to launch a small boat without trouble, so that is what we are looking for. A light boat that can be carted (wheeled) by hand down to the water and launch from the beach.

I am very heavily leaning towards a Hobie Pro Angler 17t, but haven't really looked into too much else.

Is there a different direction I should investigating? Jon boat, inflatable? I really like the no motor aspect of the pedal kayak.

Thoughts?
