[QUOTE="pjb153, post: 81660, member: 1391"] Hi.. forst time posting. have been looking to get a 14ft aluminum boat for fishing smaller lakes close to home with my two rug-rats and my wife when she wants to venture out. I have been shopping the internet and local classiied ads. it seems that people want big money for sloppy messes and why do they not take care of thier stuff. any way on to my question. I located a 69' smokercraft with trailer, newer minn kota, depth finder, vests, battery.. basically all set up for the water. It seems like a solid well built boat, and best of all it has been modified already to include a full carpeted platform. Seems to be in decent shape and kept well. I need to decide quick on it, becasue i have a feeling it won't last. It is $1,200.00 with the trailer and all. it needs some tlc, maybe some undercoating or paint and a good detailing. How are these older "Semi tri-deep aluminum" designs? How do they float? will it be topsy? Seems wide and stable on the trailer and the floor seems to be solid. What do you think I should do? Snatch it up or let it pass? [/QUOTE]
