Why : Well as some of you might have read the issues I was having with my new boat (1436 Alumacraft ). It wasn't anything detrimental though it was something that could have gone without fail or repair. None the less I gave Alumacraft the opportunity to make it right via a dealer that was an hour plus away. They sent the repair part damaged from the factory, failed to return calls, same with the dealer. Neither party was anxious to resolve the problem but were willing to make it right one day down the road. If this were a high dollar boat I'd be raising their roof, but it was not..
New Deal: For the past couple months there was a 1448 I've been calling about though he would never sell. He saw my current rig and expressed some interest so we swapped hulls and he will sand blast and coat my trailer in exchange for the difference of value. He is aware of the issue but since he uses a trolling motor it will never occur for him as it only did it when under WOT around 25+ mph.
Boat: It is an early 90's 1448 with slight semi V upfront. The wood transom is solid in the middle but will need to be replaced sometime this season. He had blasted it and painted the hull which turned out semi decent. I'm sending in my order for numbers and replacement decals after I write this post and hope to have them tomorrow.
