Hello all, I'm new here to the forum as well as to boating.
I'm currently in the process of picking up a 12' aluminum boat.
Being that I am new to all of this I have a couple of questions
to ask you all.
At the moment I'm looking at a boat that I can not find out anything
about online. Its a 12 foot v 'nichols' aluminum boat the guy says its water ready.
The seller claimed it was a '71. It actually says 'nichols' on the rear sides of the
boat.
Also, there's a small dent on the front right side of the boat as can be
seen in the attached picture.
My concern with this dent, is how it's
dented on/over the rivets on the side of the boat. Being that it's
dented in such a manner, is this the kind of dent that's going to
cause me issues after continued use? Basically I'm asking
if such a dent would prevent you from buying this boat.
It also comes with a 6hp suzuki 4 stroke outboard motor. I did a little
research and it appears to be a 2005. Has anyone ever had
any past experience with small suzuki outboards?
I know I've asked a lot here, but if anyone has any input it'll be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
