The wife finally relented and looks like I'm on the hunt for an aluminum boat. I've done a little bit of research and read the tinboat buyers guide. Found a boat I thought would be a good deal compared to the average sales ads I've been reading. The ad reads as follows.
14 ft Alumacraft Jon boat
48 inches wide at the bottom
1998 15hp long shaft electric start mercury with custom made aluminum jack plate
30 lbs thrust Minn Kota trolling motor
Live well in the center seat
And best of all 2 cup holders
Bass boat fishing truck Johnson outboard
Basscat ranger triton tracker
Also comes with the trailer
all for $1500
I know the pictures aren't great, but I'm not sure of the value of the items combined or the Alumacraft brand and was hoping to get a little input. Can't tell if it's flat bottomed or not. Going to see it tomorrow. Is there anything I need to look out for? Owner said he'd demo the engine, and I could test drive it on Friday if I wanted.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
