First off, thank you all for your oppinions. I have taken everything into consideration. I let the guy know that I'm going to try to sell the gun first. He was understanding, and said that he would still have the boat if I changed my mind. Thank you all for helping me to the right decision. I was not thinking clearly and got to excited when someone responed so quickly. And if anyone in VA wants a .38 spl. let me know.

Glad your were able to step back and evaluate the situation. It's always hard to do when you are looking at a new toy. I hope you end up with a rig you are happy with.

Best of luck!

It looks like it may be a 10 footer. If so I had the exact same boat back in the day. It was a decent little boat and easy to manage, tuff for two people though well I'm 6'4 220 and my uncle is 6'1 200 so we might have exceeded the capacity.

And there is no standing up in it or bringing a bunch of equipment. I ended up selling mine for $250 a while back with 30lb motorguide troller and battery.

I probably could have gotten more for mine but two of the stringers were cracked make sure you inspect them on that boat. Good luck dude.

**Update** I ended up purchasing a 10 aluminum Jon Boat w/ 2 swivel seats, 30 lb thrust Minn Kotta. $200, in good condition.

I just sold a 10 ft Jon boat with seats,a non running 4hp Chrysler Outboard and a Minn Kota 17# thrust TM. I had it up for $300 on CL,I kept getting offers of $200. Noone would even come close to what I was asking,so I just said screw it. I took the $200. If I had waited,I might have found someone to come close to what I was asking,but I just wanted the boat gone. Take the fact that I dont live real close to any large lakes,so the market for boats isnt exactly "hot" in this area. I had it listed for a week and maybe got 3 calls on it,even after I dropped the price from $300 to $225.

The 14 lb. motor should be OK then, I had one at one time, moved the 12 ft. boat good enough. Battery lasted all day easy. That boat looks bigger than 8', but maybe it's the picture.

Id say it an 8ft boat easy. I just got rid of a 10ft that was bigger than what shows in those pics.

You could trade the wife for the boat, keep the guns, and live happily ever after. ;D

Ha Ha Ha Ha..................please don' let my wife catch me writing this.
