Looking for first boat
Message:
Hey guys and gals, im Looking to buy my first little boat and trailer combo for the upcoming season. My budget is max about 2000 but id like to stay below 1000 for maybe a little jon boat or something with a small outboard and trolling motor, some swivel chairs and can safely seat 2-3 people. Im a serios buyer and look forward to talking with some people and maybe going fishing. Im new to this forum too. My name is greg and i live in new britain so contact me here or i can give you my number if you have something worth my interest. Thanks

Hey Greg, Welcome to the site. Finding the boat your looking for might be tough for under $1000, more around $1,500 might be a good buy depending on how well it's been maintained. If no one here has a boat try Craigslist. If you need tips on what to look for when choosing a boat/motor, let us know the guys on the site are very helpful and can give you pointers as to what to look for. Example: on the motor, check the lower end unit oil, it should look like oil and not milk.
