I have been a long time lurker on this site and am very impressed with the projects y'all have performed.
Yesterday I walked into a deal I could not turn down: 14' Alumacraft, 2008 Briggs and Stratton, and trailer for....$250! It also came with a little Humminbird fishfinder and a Minn Kota 65# trolling motor that works, but is probably 20 years old by the looks of it.
I know I will mod it at some point but want to fish it for a couple of months. The boat had been sitting for about a year and a half under a tarp. There was about seven inches of water in it when I went to pick it up that I was able to bail out (it was gross but at least I know it doesn't leak). I brought her home and gave her a thorough cleaning. I also flushed the fuel lines and cleaned the carb on the motor. Motor looks to be in AWESOME shape and started on the first pull.
One little quirk: no drain plug!
There are some smaller lakes I fish in the Central Texas area and this boat will be perfect for them...
Here are some pictures:
