Thanks. I was actually just browsing the thread on who makes the biggest jon boat ironically. I guess I just need to look a little harder. I'm looking for a simple boat-tiller steered, not much in the way of bells and whistles, so hopefully I can find a large, cheap aluminum hull. Aluminum...

I've lurked around here a while and learned a lot about tin boats and lusted after used ones on Craigslist. Now that I finally have the funds (new job with a raise in pay) I've been looking around and trying to find a boat that will accommodate my family and what I want to do with it. We live...

Hehe...yeah I know, but for someone like me who doesn't have the cash to plunk down $1000-2000 all at once for a solid used boat, having something free to start with is a big help. This way I can spend $50-100 at a time a weekend here and a weekend there to get it going. I have a good friend...

Thanks-I just want to add a disclaimer though that the boat pictured is not the one I'm getting-it's just a picture of something similar I dug up on the internet. The real pics will be up soon though!

So over the weekend I'm letting the dog out for his morning business as usual and I happen to look over at the yard one house over from ours and happened to notice what looked like a boat under a tarp behind a shed. I mentioned it to my wife because the folks whose yard it was are friendly...

This is the answer I was looking for. I'm not all that concerned with speed really-from the ramp to where we want to go is anywhere from 2-3 miles straight across the water. If you're telling me that with a 9.9 on a 16' loaded with three people, a dog, and gear, that I can do 10 MPH that works...

That's part of my problem-I'm not sure because I just don't know enough about boat size/weight/capacity vs. horsepower. Just as an example, the Alumacraft V-16 has a beam of 70", a bow height of 30" and will hold 5/1380lbs, but is that way too much boat for a 9.9? If not, then sure, I'll go...

It's starting (emphasis on starting-it snowed here this morning) to get warm again and my thoughts are turning away from firewood and deer hunting and back to the water. I found tinboats last summer when I was wishing I had a boat and now I'm committing to seriously looking for a fixer-upper as...

Hi everyone. I'm glad I found this forum because I'm one of those guys that can't leave anything alone, so now that I'm looking for a boat, why would it be any different? I live in Hunterdon County, NJ which is in the northwest portion of the state, where most of the larger lakes are. I'm also...
