Best type of small boat for fishing a river?

Hey Everyone,
I’m in the military stationed in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and have been doing a lot of pier fishing lately in the James River, but now I’d like to get out on a small boat of my own, but I’m not sure what the best time of small boat would be. A friend told me a jon boat would be a good choice. I looked up more information and liked the idea, except I don’t own a truck or something to put it on, and I’m not sure how well putting a jon boat on top of an Infiniti G35 would work. Would something inflatable be a good idea? I’m flexible on price, would preferably like to stand at times, and would like some sort of portability or something I can easily put on top of a car or something. Not interested in fishing kayaks. Any ideas or suggestions would be great, thanks!

Plans or kit to build a boat for water skiing?

Hey everyone, I see tons of plans and kits online to build catamarans, kayaks, small fishing boats… I want plans or a kit to build a large speed boat for water skiing! You know like the boat can hold like 6 – 8 people. It would be like 25 feet long, etc. Any one know of any? Thanks.

bottom fishing while drifting on my boat.?

i have a fishing ski (kayak)… i just wanted to know if i would be able to bottom fish with dead bait while i was un-anchored and drifting in the sea at a depth of probably 20 meters. would you still catch fish if the bait and sinker was near the floor but not touching it?
