How to buy a boat

[lookinforwalleye]

the boat deals don't make it so easy to compare.

 

I did come across a v14 (or was it a t14v?): http://www.alumacraft.com/utility_main.html

do they have a good rep?

I have a Alumacraft and love it.

don't be afraid of older motors...

 

i've got a 1975 merc 150HP outboard that has served me well and will be mounted on my boat once i finish it...

 

like everything though do your homework... the only motors i would honestly stay away from are Chryslers and Force motors... note that all force motors are NOT mercurys... some are chryslers...

 

if purchasing new, when i was down in Florida @ christmas, 90% of all motors rigged onto boats were Yamaha 4 strokes and Mercury Verados
