[QUOTE="chrispbrown27, post: 303907, member: 9661"] By all means buy used man, not a thing wrong with it. Don't buy something small just because it is the first boat you see in decent shape in your price range. Be patient and buy as big as you can. In my opinion, I would never buy anything under 48 inches wide at the floor to use as a primary fishing boat. The stability drops way off the more narrow it gets. Look around and you can find 1648 jons for under a thousand, some with motors some without. I know it's hard, but be patient. Check Craigslist often also local classifieds and drive around near lakes and check for boats sitting in peoples backyards that obviously haven't moved in some time....sometimes they just want them gone. Good luck man! Chris [/QUOTE]
