Which Boat to Buy?
Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2019 3:21 pm
I've found a great deal on two possible aluminum boats... And I don't know which one I should get. (note: haven't seen them in person yet)
The first one is a 14 foot aluminum boat with a trailer and 8 horse Mariner outboard motor.
The second is a 16 foot Springbok with split seat, with a 15 Yamaha, and trailer.
"The Springbok needs a new plywood floor, and we have the original floor for a template. The motor has not been used for about 10 years, but we had it serviced before putting it away. We will have the motors serviced at our cost again before we sell them."
The 14' is about $200 more expensive than the 16'.
I have no experience working on boats, how much trouble and cost would it be is it to replace a plywood floor? Also, what is a "split-seat"
I know the individual selling the boats and everything they own is in great shape so I'm not too worried on that end.
Please let me know which one you would buy and the reasoning behind it.
