Wanna know the two happiest days of a man's life?
The day he buys his boat and the day he sells it:D

Have fun with it, and get some pics of it in the water.

Wow.. my bro would kill for that boat. No holes == good fishing boat, even if you have to row it yourself. :)

dude, i'm seriously jealous of you. I want a boat sooo bad with all these lakes around my house. With a little TLC, that boat is a great score. Be sure to post pics after it's all cleaned up and running. Do you guys have a spot to store that?

nah, we fix everything, including the engine, ourselves. the only thing we may have to buy are seats and stuff...maybe some small parts, but nothing major. i doubt we will spend over 500 total fixing it, but i will let you know :)

worth the $70 no question about it, biggest issues with boats are the cost of running, repair, and storage IMO, they end up being a money pit but are well worth it if you get a lot of use out of it.

ive never personally had one, so i dont know how much it costs to keep it running, but as far as repairing and storage go, we should be able to take care of that. we just need to get a cover for it!
