Good Deal?

Featured Replies

Ive got kayaks, and we are buying a new pontoon boat this year but I'm looking for a cheap fishing boat. This is nothing fancy but do you guys think this is a good deal? Was looking to spend more but if this works I think this would be a good starter boat.

I had about a 2-3k limit buy if this works I think with the addition of a trolling motor it'd be a good start and hive me extra money towards the pontoon or maybe buy a couple cheaper kayaks for the kids to go with us when we kayak

$800 is steep for what it is. It looks like it's in ok shape but $500 would be closer to what it's worth. Up by me there's a lot of boat like that that people try to give away because nobody is willing to pay much of anything for them.

Yea I always talk the price down even if it was worth 1000 and he asked 800 id still head towards 500. Especially in this area people are hard up for cash and cash talks. However my wife liked the idea of the 18ft blow up boat with a little trolling motor. Because a lot of the little lakes around here dont allow anything but trolling motors however im down the road from the rivers and the current is strong so im positive id need a gas motor there so im on the fence. What do you guys think the above boat vs the 18 ft blow up that he has at like 320.00 in comparison. They will both cost me about the same. I can see the blow up being cheaper to maintain long run. Thoughts?
