I picked up a 2008 Lowe L1448M modified-V jon boat with a 2008 galvanized Valu-Line (Sea-Lion) trailer.  Included were two wooden Caviness oars with metal oar locks, an Interstate Marine battery and case, a Motorguide 54lb. thrust transom mount electric motor in working shape, and a brand new Minn-Kota Maxxam 55lb. thrust transom mount motor (w/ Weedless Wedge 2 prop).  The boat was kept covered under a carport during the winter so it didn't see winter weather inside of it.  It seems like a really stable boat with a 70" beam!  I paid $1,000 cash out the door for it.  Is that a decent deal for the boat?  Not sure what they run new or what the trailer costs new but thought I would ask.  I would like to put wooden floors in it with marine grade carpet and do some other mods so any ideas would be appreciated.

Sounds like a steal. The Minkota alone is half of what you paid. Wood floors are a welcomed upgrade and pretty easy to do. Good luck and enjoy! 

That is a good deal.

 

Don't let the 70" beam fool you though. The bottom width is still only 48", and that is where it really matters for stability.  It will be a little tippy. 

Round here that's an excellent price ?

 

48" bottom is plenty stable enough for 2 anglers standing on casting decks. 

 

Picture of the interior would help determine what mods to do!

The boat is just stock from the factory.  Here is what it looks like:  https://www.loweboats.com/jon-boats/l1448m-jon/

That's a good basic floormat with lots of potential!

 

Besides a floor I would extend the front deck & close in the rear making another deck.
