looking at this in morning

[lrd3]

this is how the add reads=

i have a 13ft fiberglass boat and trailer with clean title. has floors built on top that are removable so you can walk all aound and fish. custom lights upfront. fish finder included. minn kota 55lb thrust trolling motor is also included. Boat is in good shape. floats. May need some electrical work for lights and fish finder. I have not used this boat since last year and only took it out a few times. Motor was used about 5 times. runs smooth and very powerful. No battery included.

I really prefer aluminum hulls for this purpose. How much does he want for it?

Yeah the cost is important here. If you are just looking at getting some fishing in, you can buy a brand new 14 foot tracker for $600 out the door. If you have a truck you don't need a trailer.

That's a terrible deal.

My dad picked this up with a 5HP Merc last fall for $600

Granted that was a real nice deal but I'm thinking $750-1000 would get you a nice tinny with trailer and gas motor. $500-700 should get you a nice boat and maybe a trailer. Those old glass boats usually have wood in the structure or at least in the transom and it's probably all rotted. You can pick up those transom-mount trolling motors for $50-$100 on CL all day long.
