[QUOTE="jellyghost, post: 354304, member: 14309"] Thanks for the great answers. This seems like a great forum. Why consider vintage boats? Did they make them with thicker aluminum or more rugged? price? I like the idea of buying an older boat, but I wanted to understand the advantage. How do aluminum boats do in brackish water or salt water? I am in KC, but I spend lots of time in the Baltimore/Washington area. I may be moving that direction in a few years. Can an aluminum boat work in both types of water? I assume the engine would need to be different. I have found one Lonestar on the local craigslist. It is a 14' boat made in the 60s. There were a couple good looking options for 16' Lunds. Are their other good search terms? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
