[QUOTE="wingsnhammers, post: 303747, member: 9821"] I got both of my boats off of Craigslist. The first was a 14' General flatbottom boat, 25hp electric start Johnson, and a trailer for $360. The trailer was pretty much junk, the motor still doesn't run, and the boat turned out very well. I had a total of $1,100 in it including a 5hp B&S outboard, new trolling motor, new battery, and a complete trailer refurb. sold it for $1,300. I took that money and got my current project a few weeks later off of Craigslist. It is a straight 14' V hull with a 10 hp Johnson Seahorse, a good trailer, and a bunch of accessories for $550. I'm just about to have this thing on the water and my total investment so far is a hair under a Grand. I still have that 25 Electric start Johnson, too. :mrgreen: I'm trying to get it running so I can use it and sell the 10 horse. Of course, I would sell the 10 horse on Craigslist. [/QUOTE]
