We picked up an older pop-up made by palomino with hard sides last year. It has really worked out well for us. Its always dry, has heater, water etc. being able to cook and move around and dry your gear out in November when its pouring makes it all worth it. not to mention we can have it closed up and moving to another spot in about 30 min should we not like where we are staying. Its hasn't been a pain to tow around so far. Whenever we decide to go fishing we can make the decision to head wherever and be on the road in 15 minutes since we pretty much keep all the gear in the camper year round. just have to grab the fishing bag and go.

Its worked well as a base camp. you can put a boat on top, but make sure you can haul your boat around in the back of your truck after camp is set up or moor your boat at a dock or keep it on the beach. kinda sucks when you have to break everything down to go fishing at 5 AM. If your drift boating well then your gonna need another vehicle anyway so have a buddy tow the boat.
