There is not a lot of fishing boat for sale in this category and when there is one, it's gone in less than a day. But you are right, should be rush into one....

Just came back and the overall shape of the boat is not great. It hasn't been looked after. I also found the seats really low and the green carpet not my thing. I did like the size though and the boat seems really well made. The bottom end has been replace last year and paid for by the insurance. I decided not to try it until we agree on a price (9500$) but on my drive back I realized I would pass anyway.
Thanks all for your advices

Thanks

Yep. Princecraft is a good one. I believe they were welded rather than riveted. Best of luck in your search. Hard time of year to be a buyer.

I think you made a good choice on passing.

Princecraft are riveted.

That one was.

Is anyone knows is this kind of marks is a bad sign?
Thanks again

Looks like pitting, just paint not sticking to aluminum anymore. If this is the same boat I would just pass unless it's a steal. Boat sounds more like a project. If you could get for around $4000-$5000 then you can put $3000 into it with new floors, carpet electronics even paint.

It looks like it was good to "pass". Definition of Boat?
Break
Out
Another
Thousand

A friend of mine has that exact same boat. He bought it 7 years ago for the same price as the one your looking at.

Its a good boat, but its not worth that money now, and by the sounds of it, it needs a bunch of work.

Wait for the boat you want to come along, and don't fall for anything less. It will come.

A friend of mine has waited 2 years for the right boat, and he just got it this spring. Couldn't be happier.
