I'd almost just as soon buy something that needed work. Heck you never know what someone else done, and I'd just about as soon start from scratch (pumps, rewire, etc) than keep chasing problems (or have 'em happen on the water). All that stuff isn't expensive to do. Just because it's new, don't mean it can't fail, but the odds are a lot less.
Been looking around a bit today, I think it'd be best for me to get a hull and trailer, and work on it when I could (afford to). Might take 2-3 years to finish it, but at least I'd know what I had when it was done. I could always buy a beater truck and leave it down here in the Spring/Summer.
You and GdG just tormenting me today? :RoflQuote:

Not that way any more.Quote:

I choose an aluminum because of the cc design and I wanted a jet foot with a tunnel hull. I'm running a 65 jet and it'll run 31 with 3 peeps. It fishes 3 peeps real well also and I consider it stable with three. I did cross the wakes of a cabin crusier yesterday and had to use some common sense but had no problems.hope this helps and feel your pain on searching boats. I looked at Craigslist all over the southeast every nite for three months before I found this boat at a dealership as a leftover model.
man ifn it was me i would get that old skeeter i think it is with the stick steering in the personal classifieds that is one sweet ride of course that would be good for my style of fishing and maby not yours but you could put racks on it i bet it would fish great
I lurked over on Tinboats, saw a guy who re-did a SeaArk Super Jon 1872MV, looked like a pretty nice boat. I'll need to save some cash before I can start "looking", I told Cray I'm just trying to keep occupied, otherwise I'd just be eating :Rofl
If I had you're money I would Donnie. You're one of them rich geezers BigH mentioned .Quote:
