Question
gunflint
I'm taking a hard look at purchasing a new (to me) rig. I need something in a 16 footer, either an Alumacraft or a Lund. Because of regulations where I fish I'm limited to a 25 hp motor. What I would like is to find a used boat but put a new motor on it. Here's the rub. I think that I can get a much better deal on a boat through a private party but most guys won't separate their boat and motor. I could probably get a dealer to put a new motor on a used boat from their inventory but I'm not real sure about buying a used boat from a dealer. Besides I'd probably have to spend a day or two in the cities shopping for boats. Is there a point where It's worth buying a used boat and motor from a private party and then trade the used motor in on a new one?
