[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 210121, member: 1523"] Sounds like you've hit that nasty wall where you either get a loan or wait. Personally I would not bother with the troller until you have a decent gas engine. Locally there are dozens of sub $2k tin boats for sale since it's warmed up. Also be aware that you'll probably spend more on a 9.9hp or lower engine vs. a 30-50hp. I'm with Ahab, find a crunched or trashed glass boat with a 40-50hp and strip it out. Pay the $50 at the dump to get rid of the carcass and sell the trailer to recoup some money. Boat are not cheap unles syou are patient enough to find great deals (and summer isn't the time to find great deals unless it's junk.) What's the backstory on your boat? Jamie [/QUOTE]
