Alright...but one tire says max 90psi cold, and the other is max 60psi cold. I think I'm best off consulting a tire shop. I know, say, with my vehicle tires although the max psi is 50 or so, the reccomended psi is 32.

I think the recommended at 32 is cold on your vehicle and 50 lbs max hot with a full load !

I think you will appreciate the ability to stand and move around with ease in a flat bottom jon. I would suggest a Modified V as Damien did.

X3 Replaced a 12' Princecraft Ungava with a Alumacraft MV1448 this year and couldn't be happier. Granted, I am a fly fisherman and maybe troll flies once every few years. The modified V jon boat is so stable compared to a traditional V hull.

This specific boat would be too heavy to not trailer, but a 12' would probably be fine.
