I have been looking for a ten footer for over a year now. All the ones on CraigsList
are in the $400 range withOUT title.
Yesterday, I SCORED this awesome 10' G3 1032 that is in like new condition for $190.00
and it comes with a CLEAR TITLE !! AWESOME FIND !!!
The owner lived in a gated community and had to keep it in his garage. So it has
been very well cared for.
Ok, here are my concerns:
The capacity plate says 180 pounds max. I weigh 180# and my wife is about 150#
so that is 330# right there.
Add 50# for a battery, 25# for minnow bucket, etc etc etc.
we are both short people on the average size. So is the boat overloaded before we even use it ????
Issue #2: Size of trolling motor..... the boat weighs about 75#, with the additional weight,
we will be pushing 400 pounds through the water.
Price wise, I want to stay with the 12 volt motor. Will a 40 pound thrust be adequate for this rig ??
I have never been in a small Jon like this with electric motor so I am sort of at a loss as to power.
I am also searching for a 3 to 5hp outboard as well.
Thanks.
There is nothing more grand than
to be just simply messing around
in an old boat . . . . POGO, 1960
are in the $400 range withOUT title.
