Lets just say, I am not far behind you on age. I have a 9ft N.F.O. Renegade that "I" can carry on my shoulders. it weighs 28lbs. Add a few more lbs with bags loaded, but I can still pick it up.
Yes I make a couple trips. One for the motor and Battery (and yes, you need a deep cycle because you will be draining it and recharging it allot and it is the only battery you can do this with) I have the BIG battery too. around 58 lbs. I also have a rear deck with rod holders, but I only pack three rods at a time.
Then I make the third trip getting my hip waders on and my rods. I strap my PFD on my boat and pack it with my boat. Fins I loop over one arm.
So, three trips. The idea is exercise.......[
][laugh] And I love to walk.
My other boat is a 10' 6" NFO with a frame so a little heavier, but same deal. That one I do pack on a flatbed trailer though and I can get pretty close to the water.
