I want 2 sail

Archive for the ‘192’ Category

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?

I just bought a 12 ft jon boatwith a 7.5 horse motor and i need toknow if i need a special licence or something like that, and what should i have in the boat

I am currently looking for a cheap used boat (<1000 USD) and was hoping someone could help me out with some tips. I am looking for about a 12-16 foot boat with a 9.9 outboard. It's main use will be for medium sized lakes/ light lake erie use but may take it out on some saltwater on vacation. Any tips on set up/style would be helpful. Liked flat/square jon boats until I heard they can't really stand rough water of any kind. Thinking about a regular V style.
Thanks in advance for you sharing your knowledge.

Also anyway other than local paper and craigslist of how to find such a boat would help.
