kayak vs Warrior (one man) type boat
Would like to see comments, experiences, likes/dislikes from anyone that has used either or both a kayak and the Warrior one man type boats that are very common in the south carolina low country, santee cooper area. The one man boats are trollmotor powered (which I prefer) vs paddling for most kayaks (not interested in the "Hobie" type) Want to be able to transport boat while towing a tag-a-long camping trailer. I like to fish slow water swamp area rivers and coastal creeks and not sure that the one man type boats would handle some of the coastal waters and conditions that I have seen kayaks in. Your experiences and recommendations please.

The Warrior boats look nice. Wish there had been a dealer in the upstate that carried them as I may have purchased one myself. There are a few kayaks that come with a trolling motor package but they are much higher priced than the 2,200 I found on google if that is the price with the trolling motor. I know there have been some reviews on that type of kayak/boat so hopefully they will see your post and reply.

I believe the Warrior boats are available with peddle power as well.
There are a few other similar brands as well seen on Youtube on places like the Pee Dee rivers.

It depends a lot on the water you plan to fish .
I have a similar boat to the Warrior , (13 ft) called a Bobcat. ( Same as Water Moccasin, made in Louisiana)
With a bow mount troll motor. This boat is pointed on both ends. I can reverse without getting stuck when I fish brushy, weedy, stumpy , thick cover during the spawn on lakes. I also have a kayak, a small pirogue for rivers or other shallow water fishing where I don’t mind paddling.
That said , the small boat with a square back would trouble in some places for me.

A buddy has one of these Creek Boats and loves it.

Saw kayaks with front TM's that were $1300 range and had good reviews, 12 Ft I believe. On Amazon but a BK boat place had them for $150 or so less and shipped free with one month return. Looks very appealling to me anyway.Originally Posted by STUMP HUNTER
