[QUOTE="Crosshairy, post: 4778830, member: 3202"] I've seen quite a few good deals on Craigslist over the years. With the wood decking boats, you are mainly looking for evidence of good storage out of the weather. Another tactic is to find an all-aluminum boat with a motor that's not running well (or at all), and you'll often find that those will go for much, much cheaper. Then you either overhaul the motor or replace it with new. That's mostly what you're paying for, anyway. A do-it-yourselfer person can save a pile of cash on those deals, and mostly it's just carburetor rebuilds anyway. I suggest that you widen your search radius to include nearby cities. I got a fantastic deal on a jon boat with a low-hours motor by driving out to Jonesboro, AR. I could probably sell it now for most of what I paid for it 3 years ago. [/QUOTE]
