I can probably find 50 of them on FB Marketplace rated for 9.9+ right now for $600 or less.A 1236 is a small boat.  Weight is probably the issue.  The smaller the boat, the more unstable they are with a load.   You need to balance it carefully.   I almost sunk a 1248 by putting a 4-stroke on it instead of a 2-stroke it was designed for, plus my 200 lb butt in the back.  I had to dive for the front of the boat, and then get out fast to save it.</blockquote>
