Buying a Used Boat -- Help?
I am looking for a bit of help / advice with this thread.
My kids are getting a bit older (6 and 9) and I would like to try to come up with a more reliable and comfortable way to possibly get them out on the water over the last of summer / fall.
I live in Hopkinton, MA and have access to a couple of lakes with no HP restrictions -- Lake Whitehall & Lake Maspenock....
I currently have a 1950?s Aerocraft with a 1978 Johnson 9.5. When the Johnson starts it runs great, but I end up tinkering with it more than actually using it.... Whole thing is for sale (yes, I should put up another post trying to sell it here...).
I have seen a few mid 80's trackers go for around 3K near me and have also seen a few newer tiller types go for around the same. I am primarily looking at CL.
I don't need anything fancy or loaded with extras. I just need something reasonably comfortable and reliable. We'll primarily fish for largemouth bass.
What should I go with. Old tracker? V Hull? Tiller steering? Console? Here are a few pics of some of what I am looking at...
All thoughts and advice is much appreciated!
