[QUOTE="haute, post: 326284, member: 12526"] All Princecraft boats are like this, other than their lightweight cartoppers. Honestly, its a configuration I prefer. Agreed! Ya, I cant figure out why the pricing is so distorted here. Mind you, this is a city where 2 bedroom houses built in 1950, which are now fit to be crack houses, are worth $1.5M dollars... Ya. I'm torn on this boat above b/c its such a smoking deal, but, if I wait a whole year, I can probably afford to buy a near-new boat as my wife will be returning to work after being off on disability for over a year. This is the juggle for me too. My "ultimate" boat, if you will within price reason, is a Pricecraft Yukon 15 or an Alumacraft 1448MV modified v-bow jon with a 15-20 on the back. I need to have a boat which is light enough that it can be "portaged" via wheels with me and my wife at worst, but heavy and stable enough to last us until the kids are older - that's a tough bill to fit it seems like, but I know *many* people who have done this with nothing more than a 12' and a 9.9, so I'm not sure where the happy medium is. I saw this one: https://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/nvn/boa/3985714947.html But then saw what seems to be flex seal all over the **** seams, which made me not even want to call at all. Not only that, it looks in far worse wear than the one above. [/QUOTE]
