You can fit a jon in the back of the truck, but you need to tie it down good and put a red marker on the back. It would be better if you have a very large truck and a very small jon boat, maybe 10 foot.

A company makes "basshunter" boats. They come in two sizes 8' and 9'. I have used the 9' and you can slide it into the bed of a short bed pick up. Weighs like 100 lbs. Costs appx. 300-400 $.

Me and my Navy buddies use a Jon boat to fish. We have a 9 footer and it slides in a little S-10 or little Fronteir. Just ratchet it in and hit the road.

You can carry a 14 foot jon boat in the back of a full sized pickup it you tie it in good. Â*A red flag or red light may or may not be required but it's a good idea. Â*And of course the boat has to be narrow enough to fit between the fender wells of the bed. Â*Most full sized pickups have an 8 foot bed, and with the tailgate down, they have another 2 feet or so of support, so 14 feet isn't too bad. Â*I have seen 16 footers in the back of trucks, but that's a bit much.

They'll ride better if you put the stern in first.

you should have no probalem considering i have a lowered sonoma tht sits 4 inches off the ground and i carry my 12ftr around to all the lakes with ease excpect for those bumpy roads haha....just make sure its secured in to yr bed is all with an orange flag on the end of it.
