Lowe Jumbo 16 V???

Found a Lowe Jumbo 16 V with trailer for $800.00 (no motor).
Its in good shape

Seem like a good buy.

Anyone have any experience with this hull???

I dont like the fact it has a center bench and no floor but for $800.00 I think I could live with it, Add a floor and maybe modify later to make it walkthrough.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Got any pics?

Trailer is little rough but I could put it on mine after I sell my jon boat.
Looks like a 20" transom, so I will need another motor as well.

That's a good deal for 800, hit that up. Of course try and negotiate :wink:

Resale value is high on Lowes, too.

juts like the last poster, try to see if they can go down in price. but looks like a good buy

Here is my thoughts on making it walk-thru:

I would not remove it completely, but make it "walk thru", like the Lund SSV seats.
I would not completely cut out the center section and would reinforce it with a section of 3/4 marine plywood along the base & sides of the cut out.
When I add the floor, I would bring it up too the same level as the cutout.
Anyone have any pics of adding a simple wooden floor to a SemiV? Jon boats are easy, the floor is flat!

That was my thought in my earlier post.

Basically the same boat as I have, that one is just newer.

How do you like it?
Run good with a 25, under load?
What does she draft, motor up?
I'm still negotiating with the "boss"!

LOOKS GOOD TO ME, SMACKA BARGIN ON HIM LOL

love the boat, very stable, runs great with the 25, think it drafts about 4 inches . not sure but it isn't much more than that.

Thanks!
Sounds like a good boat for me.

Finally got down to personally inspect the boat in question. Ugh, rough shape. Lots older than it looks and a lot of oxidation/salt corrosion.
I will pass on this one. Thanks for all your input anyway!
