Never had a boat before and Im interested in a jon boat because I like the flat surface... a platform would be added to any boat I get.. I like to stand and pitch lures Anyway , I found one on craigs list... Is 250.oo to much for a 14 ft. no trailer, no motor... three seat model. Not modified....I will eventually have to get a trailer because I want to use my jeep instead of my pickup too get around
