[QUOTE="JacobOutdoors, post: 477512, member: 25450"] I have been looking for a boat for a while to do some duck hunting and bay fishing/crabbing out of. Needed something that would support some crab pots, hunting buddy and dog with gear, or the wife and kids when we hit the ocean bays. Something that doesn't feel like we're sitting on top of each other. My budget won't currently allow me to afford a new sled style boat so I have been in search of something with potential that requires some elbow grease. I stumbled upon this boat listed for sale locally, but I'll be honest. I don't really know the ins and outs of what I should be asking and looking for. I'm hoping you fine folks can help me! I've included some pics and the description listed by the seller below. What should I be asking or looking for? Does the price seem reasonable? I'm not interested in low-balling the seller, but getting it for a fair price to have funds for the renovation would be nice. The boat is currently listed at $1,500. Description and pics below, thanks! Seller description: 16’ flat bottom Smokercraft sled boat with 25 hp Suzuki two stroke prop motor. The motor needs repairs to the tiller handle( broken knuckle where it lifts up), but it ran last time it was used. The boat needs a little paint but it was built with Smokercraft quality and very stout. Shes 6’ wide and very stable. Just needs someone with a little knowhow and some time or a new motor to help this old girl reach her potential again.
