johnboat
Simple fishing vessel
A johnboat is a flat-bottomed boat with square ends, typically made of aluminum or wood.
Johnboats are designed for shallow, calm waters like rivers, ponds, and swamps, favored by fishermen and hunters for their stability and low draft: We took the johnboat up the creek to fish for bass.
Also spelled john boat or jon boat.
