    Hi,
    I am looking at getting a boat for lake fishing. I will not be keeping the boat in the water and will instead have to launch it each time I use it. I mostly do pike fishing but am trying to get into more fly fishing. I was advised to get a 19” sheeling type boat if I want to fly fish however I am a bit worried about how difficult this would be to launch and take out if was on my own. I have a 1.6lt 2 wheel drive car. I was out on a aluminium 14ft at the weekend and obviously that would be great as it is really light and easy to launch however it is not big enough to fly fish with 2 people.
    Basically what I need to know is “Is it hard for one person to launch a 19” lake boat?” If anyone has experience I would appreciate it.

    I don’t want to end up with a boat I can only use when fishing in company – or one that would be too heavy for my car on the slipway.
