Small Bassin' Boat

lunker-lander · 09-05-07, 05:51 PM

Hello again ya'll from BF.Com. Looking for a small boat in the 10-14 foot range. Must be in good condition, no hole, small amounts of rust, if none. Don't care about color, paint, cosmetics, etc. Willing to pay up to 120.00

Look on craigslist. They have some pretty cheap boats at cheap prices, youll get better results there.

Dont know if you are going to find anything that cheap... You can possibly purchase an inflatable raft or some kinda kayak if you find a steal. You need atleast 500$ for something like your description, unless you find a great deal.

You can find something like that in your area. If you see an old aluminum boat leaned up against someones barn or something go up to their door and knock and ask them how much they would take for it. I've gotten 2 Nice 14 Foot Aluminum Jon Boats for 100-150$ by doing this.

Yeah I guess in that case you can get a good boat for cheap... but buying it from someone intending to sell, I havent seen anything that cheap around here before...

Think of it though BF02, you live in Florida. America may be land of the free, but florida's home of the weird!!!

??? Florida has 2 parts: South Florida: Cubans/Hispanics/Yankees. And North Florida: True Floridians. Now you do ahve you mix ins as one would expect, and Central Florida has abunch of whatever. Though I do believe every state has its share of weirdos, and I dont understand how that would effect the price of a boat.. I'm sure weirdos can sell at price like the rest of the boat selling crowd. When I hear Florida, I think home of the year-round bass fishing, and HUGE bass! America may be land of the free, but Michigan is home of the 'bass season.'

I fish standing up and Id recomend you go to 16' if possible for stability for 2 people. my 1436 jon is pretty sketchy if Im alone, but 2 people casting throws me off bal often. My 15 by 5' is much better. Id look for an older alum boat, easy to fix.
