Btw there is a 2017 sea ark 1652 with a 25hp evinrude with 32hours for sale on austin craiglist. He want 7500 and has clean titles. And has a really nice trolling motor. He would probably sell for less

I live in austin texas and have bought and sold my fair share of boats. That boat is overpriced but its a fair price if you are gonna be financing. They have to make money. Cash I would pay around 5 or 6 at the most. I recently bought a 1994 grumman 1444 with a 25hp evinrude. I paid 2700 and I...

Thanks man, really appreciate your insight. Tested it at the lake today in the worst possible condition. Winds were over 15mph and the water was really choppy. Boat ran great and the ride was not bad. I expected worse. The only reason I fisb is to bond with my son

Well see, ill will be testing today. Its rated for 50hp which sounds unsafe. 30 seems like a good match. The boat is heavy

So I bought a new to me boat. Its a 1992 rivertrail 15ft flat bottom. Its 42 inches wide. I really didnt need another boat but I thought it was a good deal. I can flip it for a couple hundred more if I dont like it. I paid 1500. Bought it because my other boat is really old and I got a good...

I got this boat for 100 without a title. I was able to obtain a title finally. And today I scored this 2004 mercury 15hp for 200. In all im only 500 in this thing. Motor wasnt running but I finally got it running and great. Motor sat for 10 years, its practically new. Its a father and son...

I dont really know much about this anchor system. Previous owner installed on the boat last year. Im using a different system. Works great 40 shipped

Also I counted the holes, its only 8 holes not 10

I think thats my best solution, they are in the middle so it might actually help reinforce

Im about ready to install my mew transom on my project but the po drilled holes for lights, transducer etc... i dont need the. Theres 10 holes total to plug, since the transom wood backs up to them I cant plug them with bolts and nuts. Ive been thinking of drilling thru the transom and putting...

Thanks for that info, I plan to use it and I mostly want it so I can teach my son to fish and keep him out of trouble. The boat was made in the 70's, its still very solid. Ill probably start a build thread

Yeah its a 2 stroke, no that heavy. Im gonna try it out. I think it will work, I put the trolling motor and battery up front to level out the boat

Yeah 20hp sounds about right, only reason im considering using a 25 is because i already own a 25hp. If its too much for this boat id have to sell the 25 and get a 20

What it looked like when i got it Benches were rotted and transom also
