I think it's great! Didn't know Zebco made boats. I really like the headlights, so cool. If you only paid $200, I think it was a steal. That trolling motor is worth at least $100 on Craigs List. Seats don't look too bad, but you may want to consider new pedestals. I hope you are luck in that the motor won't be too much $$$ to fix. The trailer doesn't look too bad, but is worth about $300 here in my area. I say put a few hundred $$ into it and go fishing!

I say shove an Apache turbine on the back of that baby, strap on one of those old WWII leather caps and goggles, and let her rip across the flats! Seriously though, I think it'll be sweet once you get a bit o' sweat into her. Good Luck, and keep us updated on your progress!

Very interesting boat. I would say the headlights alone make it worth it. Very cool. Ever try to nav' a boat holding a spolight? Not fun.

I would try and restore to original and sell it. I think you could do well.

I'm wondering how you got it home when its not secured to the trailer. It looks like its at least a half foot back from where it should be. LOL, other than that, I think 200 was a great deal for it.

Re: 200.00 boat i just bought what do you think

i just paid $200 for my first boat as well.
it came with the trailer, and an 85 hp johnson outboard which needs some work. its an aristocraft. the title says its a 1968, but from pictures i've seen it looks more like a 1963.
also i found a penny inside while cleaning it out, so it actually only cost me $199.99.
