whynotalen Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hey All, I am thinking of getting an inexpensive fishing boat and I saw this at the door of my CT: Link: Sundolphin. It looks like a nice boat with everything ready for a motor and trolling motor. Anybody know anything more about it for some advice ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 For a lot less you can get a nice jon boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Never been in one but the terms "Sun Dolphin" and "Pro" just don't seem to go together for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have a nice 14' with a 20hp Johnson you can have for ~2500 with a bow mount trolling motor. On a trailer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker777 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 For that price?!?!?! I would find a good Aluminum before buying a plastic boat from Canadian Tire. Just sayin.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I've always liked those plastic boats. They do seem to have everything on them (depending on the model). Livewell, wiring for trolling motor and lights, storage, etc. But for the price of them I've stayed away from them and also just went for a bigger boat. For the money I'd be looking at a tinny.

SRT8 smoker craft Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I think for a secondary boat for some smaller lakes/no gas motor these would be ideal but as your only boat I would def look for a 14'tinner you will be able to fish alot more.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 i'm going to agree with the majority and say for that money, you could get something much more practical. a used 12' tinner and a 9.9 would be just as mobile for transport, but far more mobile on the water. it would also be more comfortable. i'm not sure how tall you are, but at 6'3 i found these boats real tough to fish in for a day.

whynotalen Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hello again, thanks so much for your advice. I think you are all right. I went on Kijiji and found many nice complete boats with trailers and everything for $2000 and less. Now I just need to take my time and wait for a REALLY good deal.....lots of time till next summer.

pikehunter Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Saw those at Crappy Tire in Stoney Creek. My thoughts were, "Pretty neat, and Holly $&!t look at the price!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
