WTB 14-16' Aluminum Bost w/ 9.9 & Trailer

[bowhunter1023]

I was fortunate enough to come into a little extra cash in addition to my Biden Bucks, so I'm going to stop talking about one of my "wants" and make it happen. I'm over the kayak/canoe game and living 2 miles from a good sized lake, I'd like to get something the whole family can enjoy without blowing a bunch of $ on a "real" boat. My dad has a 14' deep-v with a Johnson 9.9 that's just about right, but I'd probably prefer a mod-v with a platform in the bow so we could handle jugs with catches, or even bow fish a little. Don't need any bells and whistles, just needs to float, run, and pull. Willing to drive up to 100 miles from Marietta to pick it up. Budget is $2K +/- a few hundred depending on the deal. I appreciate any leads you guys might have.

It's a sellers market right now for anything. Good luck and I hope you find what you want. If you do find it, don't sleep on it. It will be gone.

Definitely a sellers market. Have cash, will travel, and am in no rush, so hopefully it'll come together in the next 6-8 weeks. I'm excited about taking the girls out to run jugs on the lake and gig frogs on the little rivers.

I love it! I hope someone here has something or knows someone wanting to upgrade.

I have a Suzuki 9.9 long shaft I would part with, it's a 93-95 and it has about 40 hours on it

Jesse i just took off my 15Hp mercury motor off my big boat. It has very few hours on it. Also has the TR1 gold Garmin autopilot system that goes with it. Looking to probably sell it all.

I'd definitely be interested if it weren't for the 9.9 restrictions on our home lake and at AEP, which will be where I use it the majority of the time.

It is a seller's market right now, but with your budget I think you will be able to find what you want relatively quickly. They pop on Facebook Marketplace pretty often. Just have to be ready as the deals go pretty quick.

Going to throw another idea out at you. Have you given any thought to getting a pontoon? I know not as friendly getting into tight areas. Just wondering with the age of your kids that in a few years there may be more of a desire to spend an evening with the family out on the lake. With the whole family that boat will seem small.

Of course if you go down that rabbit hole then you may want to move up to a boat you can tube and ski with as well. Then you really need to buy 2 boats. LOL. This goes back to the thread on tractors and how 1 size doesn't fit all and you really need to own 2 or 3.

Went from 2 Gs to 20.

LOL. Not necessarily. The smaller pontoons with a 9.9 engine aren't that bad. He might as well spend them Biden bucks as our taxes will be going up in short order to pay for everything.

This actually popped on the one group I am on in Facebook. Engine is larger than you want though.

If you drive up to napoleon let me know i don't live far from there.

Dang it,wrong time of season for me. I'll sell this good running 25hp and boat in November.

 

[bowhunter1023]

No interest in a pontoon, but agree it has it's place when it comes to enjoying an evening on the water. I want a "food procurement" vessel more than a party barge.

 

[Buckmaster]

But you can place a BBQ on the pontoon. Just say’n.

My portable pellet grill would fit on the bow of a mod-v...
