WTB 14-16' plain v-hull or Jon

[Macintosh]

Hi folks, been a bunch of years since I've frequented this site, but figured I'd try here and see if someone in my area (within a couple hours of North-Western Vermont) has outgrown a boat or hasn't gotten around to a build, etc.

I'm looking to purchase a well-used V or semi-v-hull boat, or possibly a Jon, in "well-loved" but reasonably good condition. I don't want a full-on project to get it seaworthy, but am fine with something with good bones but needing minor repair and/or cosmetic work. Depending on what it is, I could be interested with or without trailer and/or engine.

Absolute minimum size would be a wide, true 14'+ boat, 1448-ish or larger. Not really interested in anything bigger than 16'. Deep is good, 20" transom a plus. Open floor plan or a plain bench-seat boat highly preferred, do not want raised decks or a console, etc, as light weight is a concern and really looking to maximize interior space as a plain utility boat.

Not in a hurry, this is a long-term search and I don't see these come up very often around me, so if this ad is still here chances are I'm still looking. I don't visit these forums much so easiest way to reach me is by email: david.furman "at" hotmail.com

Thanks very much in advance!

Welcome! I will keep an eye out here in Massachusetts and let you know if something pops up. They always do!

One place to look is FB Marketplace - that's where I found the 14' Alumacraft F-9 that I'm currently working on. Guy selling it was less than 1 mile from my place.

Thanks, appreciate it. Been watching the usual suspects, craigslist, FB marketplace, etc, but nothing jumped out at me yet. Sure are a lotta 10' jons and beat up 12' rowboats though!

Thanks very much. Unfortunately that's a bit farther than I'm hoping to drive.

I've actually since purchased a boat, so I am no longer looking. Thanks to those who contacted me! I wasn't savvy enough to figure out how to delete the thread, so if a moderator stumbles into this it's no longer active.
