WTB Fishing boat w/ trailer

[95V6]

Hey gents,

I'm looking for a cheap basic fishing boat and trailer. 12' V hull is ideal. Not looking for anything fancy or pretty.

Let me know!

Best two days of a boat owners life.......the day they buy it....and the day they sell it.

[95V6]

Yeah, everyone says that.

[John4cam]

Or B.O.A.T. Break Out Another Thousand. I'll keep my ears open for ya. You want something rigged with a trolling motor? 9.9?

[95V6]

Thanks. Yeah just a troller motor. I don't want a gas motor. I don't need it for what I want it for. Looking for fiberglass or aluminum V hull. I'm not picky, if it's cheap, floats and has a title I'm intested.

Found one on CL that said "unsinkable"...I think we all know what happened to the last boat they said was unsinkable. lol

I think that was the one that guy used flex shot on after he shot it with a cannon...

Fist time I sat that infomercial I was sold. lol

What a ridiculous example to sell people on.

Found a cheap ass boat, but doesn't have registration or papers. I figure it's just like a car not having it. I'm guessing I should streer clear of it?

[torqueboxer]

Yes avoid

[95V6]

I think I found one. Going Friday to look/buy. Gotta think of a name for it now. Suggestions?

[PaxtonShelby]

How about "Mod Money"?? :biggrin::biggrin:

[95V6]

Got the run around by uhual for a trailer so I'm gonna load it in the bed of my dad ranger. Screw them.

[John4cam]

Bite me?

[95V6]

Yeah I told them to eat my shorts.

[JeffreyCole]

Yeah I told them to eat my shorts.

I usually default to "Suck a bag of D**ks" when some idiot at a U-Haul rental place pisses me off.

True story. Dude was so off put he started stuttering.

[Tom]

You should call it BOAT

[95V6]

First uhual said my 03 Explorer couldn't tow a open trailer due to some law suit. Then after telling them I'd use my old mans ranger they said the closest place that had the trailer was Mt Pleasent not Washington. I said no way I'm driving all that way to go the opisite way to get the boat. Lady at I haul didn't even seem to care I told her to cancel it.

Boat can't weigh more than 150lbs, ill throw it in the bed of his truck and strap it down.

[Mark Aubele]

Yeah when I had my explorer they wouldnt rent me a trailer but no issues with a Mountaineer. ****ing retarded

Lol....

Mark always has a way with words....

[95V6]

Yeah, I know the Exlorer can tow. I saw a one going down racetrack road yesterday with a gaint enclosed trailer. I do want to google what they were talking about with the law suit. I will eventully have a trailer for the boat.

Looks like they wont rent to explorers because they are idiots.

Apparently the policy applies to Jeep Wranglers as well, unless they have a hardtop installed.

[95V6]

Wow, great artical and website. Thank you.

[JeffreyCole]

No problem!

[John4cam]

Yeah I told them to eat my shorts.

No that was my boat name idea...since it will be for fishing.

[95V6]

Oh I get it, I like that! Done deal

[95V6]

Fingers crossed the deal goes through tomarrow. Went up to Harbor Freight today and bought new ratchet straps to tie it down.

[95V6]

Boat accomplished.

[John4cam]

Pics.

[PaxtonShelby]

Pics man

[95V6]

Only pic I got. Ran straight from picking it up to a job site then it got dark.

Got a Tanaka 300 motor, trawler, oars, folding latch seats, anchor and the boat for 200.

Fit perfect in my old mans truck. Makes me miss my old Ranger now.

Hooked up the trawler, purrs like a kitten and the old Tanaka is spotless. Doesn't even look like it was ever ran.

Ill shoot a few pics tmrw.

[John4cam]
