Ya I would have to say the 1409 is a bit on the big side. It would work great for a longer trip like for walleyes, where you would be staying for a few nights, but for an afternoon on the water its a pain to move from spot to spot. She will hold about 3000 minnows and 5 or 6 gallons of water about 40 to 50 LBS!!! But cooler of beer has got to be at lease that much.
