Message: <blockquote data-quote="SomethingIsFishy" data-source="post: 468872" data-attributes="member: 25111">[ATTACH=full]102839[/ATTACH]Been thinking about getting a boat for a while, finally found a good deal at the same time I had extra cash in my pocket...The boat is a 10' jon boat, registration says it's a 1956, lists the make as "FLATBOTTOM". Picked up a used 45 lb thrust trolling motor, and a set of used oars. Gonna have to modify the oars to fit this boat, should be able to make them work...Of course the previous owner said it doesn't leak, we'll see what happens when I put it in the water... he also said it is rated for 350 lbs, and a 3.5 horse motor, but the tag is missing... is there a way to verify that? It does have a tag on the bow with an ID number, I'll have to google it and see if it can reveal any information...I plan on using the boat for fishing on small lakes/large ponds. It fits nicely in the back of my truck, and I can easily carry it to the water... should be fun!Feel free to share your thoughts!</blockquote>
