Boat Question

Check craigslist, Pennswoods Classifieds and Facebook marketplace....usually lots of boats for sale.

I have a 14 foot Lowe modified V John boat.  Can stand up and walk around in it with no problems.  

Sugar Lake is 10 HP limit. But you if you have only a electric trolling motor, you'll be fine since that lake is like 90 acres.
 
A 14 semi-V is perfect for Sugar and other lakes like Two Mile, Kahle and Tamarack once it gets refilled. Something like an Alumacraft T14v with 50lb thrust Minn Kota. If you want to fish Conneaut and Pymy, then I'd get a 15HP outboard at a minimum, but go with a 20 if you can afford it.
 
A Flat bottom john is about the only type of boat I would take down French unless you have a canoe or kayak.

Thanks for the replies fellas. Totally new type of game for me, trying to figure out boats like this that is! Been hearing that French Creek gets awful low in summer (only kayaked it once and it seemed low) and deep boats can drag some. Seems like the sweet spot for smaller lakes and also French Creek might be a flat bottom jon boat. 
 
Def on board with the oar locks. I would feel way more comfortable rowing than using a trolling motor...at least from an experience standpoint. 

Made many a trip from Franklin to Cochranton and floated back to Franklin in a jet, including a few times in an air boat.  Likewise made many a trip from Shaw's Landing, Wilson Chute or, Utica back to Franklin, using both canoe or 'row boat'. 
 
Plenty of access to fish French Creek from shore if your willing/able to walk more than a few yards from a parking spot.  As are places to launch yaks, canoes, Jon boats unless of course you require a boat dock and plenty of easy access parking.   Never had a problem finding a place to exit the boat to do a little wading for chucking lures so I don't know why, the same couldn't be said for tossing fly's and such.
 
Areas of shallow water usually require a short jaunt (short for most) then it's back in your boat but those places will provide, some great pickings for natural baits (depending time of year) like minnows, hellgrammite, crawfish, etc.  
 
Some food for thought,  as calm and peaceful as her waters may be, French Creek has her share of fatalities.  
 
 
 
"Beginning in Chautauqua County, New York, and flowing through the heart of northwest Pennsylvania, French Creek is nationally recognized as one of the most ecologically important waterways in the entire country.  Hosting an astonishing 27 species of native freshwater mussels and over 80 species of fish, the Nature Conservancy has called the French Creek Watershed one of America’s “Last Great Places”. ~ https://frenchcreekconservancy.org/
 
 
Even gooder, the PFBC hasn't polluted the creek with them icky trouts although, trout have been caught in the creek from the confluence with Sugar Creek, as far down stream as Franklin.
 

    There ought to be a law!!!!!   OMG, it happens tomorrow (3/22)
