Guest the_mud_man Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hey I have a 12 foot aluminium row boat,with a 30# thrust motoer. I put 2 papped seats on the benches and thats more than enough for the small lakes and ponds I fish .Total Ivestment was 380.0o and I have it 6 years now and the only maintainance has been painting the hull and changing the carpet. I also had to get a new battery this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_Barr Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 i am 13 too, I have a 12 foot jon boat that i converted into a bass boat. All these guys are right. there should be a jon boat for sale in your area for a good price. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
