[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 388060, member: 13599"] it may be a Baby Boomer age bracket thing, but, personally, I love the older tin boats with a passion. (in good condition, of course). The motors are like horses - depends on how well they are cared for dictates their value and trustworthiness. If you were in [i]MY [/i] world, I would suggest an older 2 stroke that is in the best condition that you can find and an old Tin in good condition that suits your fancy. The size of each would be considered to match your fishing conditions - large rivers and lakes or small ponds and streams. Then, there are the ones that may venture out into open salt water on occasion. [i]SAFETY[/i] is your primary concern.................... meaning, you don't want to get a 1032 Jon with a 5hp motor, then take 3 of your buddies fishing....... not a good idea. Jus my Dos Centavos.
