What do we need to know? Buying a boat.?
We found a jon boat on Craig's List for about $1500. We're of course going to try to get them down on the price, but I have a feeling that there may be additional expenses (insurance?) that we aren't considering. The boat comes with the following:
5 hp Briggs & Stratton OB Motor, (used less than 5 hours) w/1 hp Sears trolling motor & new battery, Eagle fish finder, swivel seats, anchor & spare tire. Includes 1995 Long Trailer.
The only problem with the boat is that it's older so the plywood will need to be replaced and the swivel seats (fine for now) will probably also need to go at some point.
What other expenses do we need to consider?
What you are considering buying is a pile of junk that should be dragged to the landfill. B&S motor is noisy, unreliable and hard to find parts for . Trolling motor, battery and fishfinder have a resale value of around $250, the seats, new, cost about $50-100 each, and the trailer is 15 yrs old, probably needs wheel bearings and tires. The boat will
cost at least a grand to properly repair and paint. At this moment, i have a 16' Sylvan with a 12 year old Merc 9.9, great shape that i would ask $1250 for. Talk to friends with boats for advice, join online boating forums. Remember, with the economy the way it is, it's a buyers market. You can do better, WAY better. Stay away from wooden boats, all they are good for is a campfire.
