[QUOTE="smidge, post: 397897, member: 20138"] So i am looking at purchasing my first boat for fishing. I mostly do trout fishing in smaller eastern sierra lakes, maybe tahoe. As well as some southern california lakes like casitas and pyramid. I am looking at getting a 12-14' aluminum hull with an outboard motor. Just wondering what are some things i should be looking for when looking at used boats? I honestly know nothing about boats, but i do know my way around an engine, so maybe that will help in some aspect with checking the outboard. Thanks! I have my eye on a 14' 1975 valco and a 15hp mercury with 25 hours that im going to check out later today. which the guy says is in great condition. Not sure what the model is, maybe I'll figure it out once I get there. But here is a pic[ATTACH type="full" alt="12041858_887643357957021_268619223_n.jpg"]0[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="12048581_887643311290359_1921614001_n.jpg"]1[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
