I thought I see if any of you might know of a boat for sale...I'm looking for a 05 or newer War eagle, express, sea ark, or similar boat, camoed out for duck hunting and also set up for fishing. I want something in the 16' range with about a 40hp with power t/t, live well, t/m, ff, ect. I'm hoping to find some one that has bought one in the last couple of years and wants to get out from under the payments. So if any of you know of a good buy out there I'd really appreciate a heads up. Thanks!
I don't have a boat for sale, but I just wanted to warn you about war eagle. I have had
my war eagle (15 42) for 1 year and have had nothing but problems with it. Everything from leaking welds and leaking plumbing on the live well to brackets breaking and the camo paint is already wearing off. The craftsmanship is pretty poor. I also know of two other new war eagles (16 48) that already have cracked welds on them. I have buddies that have had war eagles since the 90's and have put them through hell and they are still good boats. I use my boat but I don't abuse it. I guess they're just not built like they used to be.
I hate to hear that waterturkey....I have a 93 15' war eagle with a 25 johnson and it's been (and still is) a great boat. That's why I was leaning towards another war eagle, but I appreciate the heads up about the newer ones.
I have an 05 648 War Eagle with a 25 Merc on it. (Bayou Meta Torpedo.) The only problem with it so far is that it hasn't toted out 3 limits of greenheads at once or 2 limits of crappie at once :(
Bobberwatcher, you wouldn't happen to know Dr. Harry Bryant the Veterinarian that lives there in Sheridan would you? He is my brother-in- law. He is an avid crappie fisherman also.
No, sure don't, but I am new to Sheridan. I will probably meet him before too long though. You need to talk him into signing up on here. Me and JohnR (sheridan as well) fish alot together. Maybe we can all get together, go fishing and tell some lies!Quote:

Hey Gut Shot, You can pick your friends and your nose but you can't pick your family, and sometimes you can't pick your In-Laws. So I won't hold your Bro In Law agin ya. Seriously Dr. Harry has worked on my beagle hounds for around the past 20 years or so. I might even go as far as saying he's a pretty good Vet but you'd probably tell him I said that and that may give him the Big Head and he'd raise his prices. LOL
Hey Bobberwatcher, I live out here in the Prague area. Give me a hollar we'll talk fishin or beagle hounds. 942-7994
Thanks for the input brgolden....I'm leaning towards a 648. I was hoping someone here might know where one like I'm looking for might be for sale, but apparently my thread has been hijacked.
Try getting your hands on a boat finder in the Memphis area I see them in there all the time...war eagles....do not know what models but a lot all close to new...and not cheap.
Thanks crappieman...Not sure where to find a memphis boat finder paper....I did go on line and found used boat finder but it was all dealers ads and they were all high priced. I want to find a private individual with a 15'-16' war eagle, xpress or similar type boat someone is wanting to get out from under the payments. I've found a bunch of good buys but their either too big, not big enough, or not set up right, but I hope I'm getting close to finding one.
ss396, go to trader.com and look for the boat section. I believe it is on the right hand side of the main screen. You can search any zip code and search by brand. And it's free!
Well it looks like I found my new boat. I'll be picking it up next week. I'd like to thank everyone for their help in finding me a boat, especially crappieman101.
What kind of boat did you get?
Hi Joe, I picked up an 06 Sea Ark 15' 5" cast and blast with a 06 Merc. 4-stroke 40hp. 54lb trolling motor, LW. ect. Camoed out plus a new pop up duck blind and 2 new dog ladders. The whole package has less than 5hrs. on it. I'm actually meeting to pick it up the first of next week.
