    Almost all the weight is at the rear of most O B Aluminum boats. Very little is at center or bow. I just remembered you saying LOW water conditions. No chance.

    Logic in a used boat. Buy what I really do not love / want. Restore it for some one else ? Still really want what I really wanted. Your financial choice.
