I gotta get rid of my 2003 Grand Prix GTP with only 155k on it..

But the wife said If I buy a new van I can get a BOAT!!!

Getting an 2010-2011 Grand Caravan Loaded with 4L V6.

Whats a good midsize boat and engine to get new or used for $10k or less. I did see a Whaler style boat for about $6k on Kijiji.

Heres some boats but dunno if the Caravan will pull em.. lemme know.. I know the first link is a sweat deal but this is for future reference not immediate purchase. Hopefully more will come up.

What type of fishing and what type of water? The van would handle the 15 footer without even knowing it was behind you looks also to be more caster friendly and have fewer hours

Lookin for what a good size boat would be to tow with some or no effort on te van.. I mostly do Freshwater lakes and rivers.. nothing too major but I know there will be windy days..

Im not a trolling person.. just think its lack of effort. That and I also never caught much trolling. Also have only done it a few times.

sounds like a nice boat dave,if you buy an AWD caravan you will never worry,and resale is good.

I have a 16 foot LUND with a 90 Evinrude for sale. It is a 2000 model.
Pics are on this site for viewing. Take a look and if interested we can talk price. The boat is at Petrie if you want to have a look.

Hey - I've got a Bass Tracker for sale. Weight is similar or less than some 16 footers, so you'd have no problem towing it with your new dodge. It's a little more than your $10k limit, but probabaly much better bang for your buck too. Give me a call if you're interested.
