  I think John was kidding, I have a 14' skiff that I bought from Tony aka Boatronics. I bought and rebuilt a later model 30 HP yamaha for it. I kinda hate to get rid of it but I need about 30 yards of concrete so I need the money. I'll post some pics later when I get time.

  Check out Ankonaboats.com. My friend just bought the Copperhead. Very nice boat and much, much cheaper than Beavertail or Maverick.

  Buying new doesnt make sense unless you are finatially independant, lol. You must LIVE on craigs list. Guys post crazy deals when they need cash fast. For instance, I bought my 18 Hewes for 8k..... my bud saw the ad within 15 minutes of posting, we met him that day, first to look at it, paid cash on the spot. You must be patient and wait for a steal, and pounce on it! Forgot the names, but there are "templates" on the web that will search all the craigs lists, etc within however many miles you want to look. I almost jumped on a mav that was like 300 miles away, but dude beat me to it. Patience is key, this is a major investment and a crazy deal WILL come up if you search hard and stay ready to jump!
