My brothers grandson had been looking for a small boat to get back in the bayous of south La for a good while. My brother was at an auction the other day and called me about this one. He wound up buying it for $400. Now the grandson has it and he is on cloud 9. What do u think?

heck of a deal for the price! us young folks are thankful for whatever gets us on the water!
Sure LOOKS agile enough to maneuver tight spaces. I like the width on such a short boat too. Much more stable. I'm sure he'll have a ball.
Looks real good to me.
Looks good! Only thing I'd change is the console. Getting thru the trees with a tiller handle is much much easier
ain't a dang thing wrong with that man
Very nice boat, I'm sure he'll get a lot of use out of it.
Those are some tough boats for sure. Commercial fished salt water back in the late 60's with a kid who had one of those. Had a tiller handle rude sky twin 33 on it. That thing would fly with that motor. One night we were coming back up the intercostal and he hit a marker made of telephone poles head on. Bungee him up pretty good and crushed the nose in. His dad and I pushed it out and put some glass on it. He was still running it when I transferred out 2 years later. Ok PawPaw time to start working your magic on it:biggrin
Wish they both lived closer, sure wud b fun helping fix it up..
Sounds like a steal of a deal, I bet you can't tell that boy nuthin.
Boat looks great for the money!If it don't leak and that motor runs good and the trailer is sound you got a great deal. Put some rubbin compound on it and buff it good and polish it and it ought to look really good!Congrats to the young feller!
It really is fun restoring your boat. I bought a Crosby Sled boat and restored it. Look up Crosby Sled Boat Restoration project on the main forum. They really have a sweet ride.
Very cool, he'll enjoy it for sure!!!
Looks like a great deal for $400.00
