[QUOTE="brokenjack, post: 328972, member: 12754"] The wife finally relented and looks like I'm on the hunt for an aluminum boat. I've done a little bit of research and read the tinboat buyers guide. Found a boat I thought would be a good deal compared to the average sales ads I've been reading. The ad reads as follows. 14 ft Alumacraft Jon boat 48 inches wide at the bottom 1998 15hp long shaft electric start mercury with custom made aluminum jack plate 30 lbs thrust Minn Kota trolling motor Live well in the center seat And best of all 2 cup holders Bass boat fishing truck Johnson outboard Basscat ranger triton tracker Also comes with the trailer [img]https://www.brokenjack.com/pics/001[/img] [img]https://www.brokenjack.com/pics/002[/img] [img]https://www.brokenjack.com/pics/003[/img] [img]https://www.brokenjack.com/pics/004[/img] [img]https://www.brokenjack.com/pics/005[/img] all for $1500 I know the pictures aren't great, but I'm not sure of the value of the items combined or the Alumacraft brand and was hoping to get a little input. Can't tell if it's flat bottomed or not. Going to see it tomorrow. Is there anything I need to look out for? Owner said he'd demo the engine, and I could test drive it on Friday if I wanted. Thanks in advance for any advice! [/QUOTE]
