I was at my uncles place of work, I was walking around the yard where he keeps his trucks looking at some of the crap that was parded all over the place, I found a boat for sale.<br /><br />The boat is about 17 or 18 feet long. I can't remember the make of it, but it was a brand that I've never heard of, pretty much a no name boat. It was powered by a 135hp Chryser, the motor looked to be from the 1970's, but who knows. It was an open bow with a walkthrew windsheald, it had green indoor/outdoor rug on the floor. For seats it has cracked fadded seating up in the bow and two back to back seats behind the windsheald. It had no seats in the transom, but I think it did at one time.<br /><br />The trailer was a POS painted steel one, but it was not rusted like most are, I suspect I could keep it on the road buy careing for it, It fits the boat niceley. I was told that the motor ran last time it was in the water. He had a 2002 sticker on the boat, so its been out of use for a year. I could have started messing with it to see what kind of shape it was in, but it dident really want to get into it, it was REAL cold out today.<br /><br />This is not the type of boat I want to get into, if I boated on a lake it would be okay, but being I like to boat in the ocean I like to have a motor behind me that I trust. That being said, I'm really thinking of buying this boat and makeing a winter project out of it. We have a a extra bay at the house that I could keep it in while I work on it. I would try to sell it in the spring for more then I have into it.<br /><br />Do you think this is a good idea? What should I look for before buying the boat?
