[QUOTE="jellyghost, post: 353567, member: 14309"] Hi, I am new to the forum, and I joined while trying to buy my first aluminum boat. From reading other posts, I am looking for a v-bottom, but I have some questions. IF there is a good sticky, please direct me to it!!! I am in the midwest, and I usually fish for catfish. I have family on the east coast, and we do crabbing on sheltered water. So far, all of my boats have been canoes. I would like to buy a used beginner boat with trailer that can handle bigger water. I would really like the boat to be versatile. Q1: How pronounced or deep should the v bottom be? Q2: It seems like lower seats are more stable, what should I be looking for? Q3: Are their certain brands that I should avoid or seek? Q4: Are their signs of wear and aging that I should inspect for? Q5: How do I evaluate a motor? Q6: How much should I expect to spend for a good working boat with trailer? thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
