Thread: Should I buy this boat ?

Seems like a good deal for 1300, I’m sure I could get it down a few hundred though to 1k. Comes with trailer and abu Garcia rod and tackle, lifevests, anchor, etc...

I’m looking for a fishing boat and I think this might be a good deal, I have to get an engine not sure which HP. 15HP would be enough I’m guessing

I would buy it, as long as I have a solid plan.

At my house I’m renting. Do you fish?

We had a 14ft bass boat when I was a kid it was awesome, caught some lunkers. My biggest bass was 12lbs

those things are indestructible so not a bad deal at all, trolling motors are cheap too

It’s only 1k I think it’s worth it. I’ve heard the saying that the two happiest days as a boat owner is the day you buy it and the day you sell it lmao

Idk man I think it’s worth 1k with the boat, trailer, the rod, tackle, life vests etc.. seems like a good deal

Trailers for that size boat are atleast 400-500 anyway

I’m not going in the ocean so I think I’ll be fine with a 14’

Bump

Do it up so long as a good outboard is in the budget.
