[QUOTE="haute, post: 325378, member: 12526"] Thanks for the replies, guys. This is what I'm thinking as well. Get something loved, but well-used and put some TLC into it ("tender, loving, care", not "time and lots of cash" ;)). I was wondering when the best time to buy boats was... I would love to run a MV jon boat, but jon boats are not popular up in these parts, so there are literally none used. V's are pretty much defacto, but they range wildly in price and condition. The best price I could find on a 1448 was a Lowe mod v-bow for $2K. That marina sells the 1436L (lightweight) for $999, but I think 36" is too narrow. As much as I would like a 15-20 hp, two factors against me; 1) price and 2) there are a LOT of lakes around here locally which have a 10hp limit. Exactly. He custom-fabbed a really cool frame/loader for his truck instead. Great advice. Thank you, although a 16' is probably too big for many reasons, storage space being a big one. [/QUOTE]
