But you'd bugout to survive? That means a Gheenoe which is kind of a cross between a Jon boat and canoe should be the ultimate survival boat.As a bugout vessel I would choose a canoe. For a survival vessel I would choose a jon boat.
Kevin Costner agreed.A canoe is great but I am convinced a solid catamaran may be the best simple non military boat.. since it can be powered by sail rowing or motor. It can go on quite shallow water not much draft and is just in general a good boat.
you can get em smaller than this but this is just awsome for the price

Maybe for the ocean, but try to get that thing through a swamp. The ocean and inland waters are two different worlds and two different kinds of boats reign.A canoe is great but I am convinced a solid catamaran may be the best simple non military boat.. since it can be powered by sail rowing or motor.

As long as it isn't a remake of Deliverance, it is all good.. Dueling banjo music plain in the background..Get me in a canoe and it would be like a remake of the Poseidon Adventure. I don't get in anything smaller than a cruise ship unless the cruise ship is sinking, but I do pack a lovely sundress and a nice shawl just in case.
I've been thinking about a solar powered battery charger. My neighbor uses one for his batteries for his electric motor. If I buy a Gheenoe though, there capable of nice speed with a gas motor. Feeding it will be the thing though, but when it's dry, that you can paddle is the point of it still being a canoe.As a survival tool, if I'm going to use a motor it will be electric. Whatever amount of batteries & solar charging system. Gas motor, like a gas generator, will draw attention.
