    Looking at used jon and v-hull aluminum boats - 10 to 12 ft. Anything special I should watch out for?

    Where I live, 3 hours is considered very reasonable. Yeah -- I've been burned by pics but driven more like 2 days (not for a boat).

    I should have said that I'm a lardarse load on my own (6'2 - 260#). Not doing the Great Lakes or anything crazy. Right now, I need something stable enough to shoot bull frogs (invasive buggers) from at night in my pond. Seemed like a jon would be good for that (side note - I thought about...

    Hey -- New here and liking the site. Hoped some more experienced folks could help me wade through the range of used aluminum boats I'm seeing for sale and make an informed decision when it comes to purchasing. Of course there's the does it leak question. I'm not real interested in another...
