Looking for a 14' Jon Boat. Needs to have at least a 36" bottom width, would prefer wider. Might even be interested in a 16'.

Hey Rocket.... there are two sitting in a yard on County line road just north of the by-pass. I haven't stopped to look at them though.

Where exactly would that be Jim? I might have to go check them out.
Thanks

I stopped and looked at them. One has seats and is about 13-14', in good shape, didn't look close.

The other is about 18' long, sign said $800 obo. It is flat bottom, thin gauge alum. If it was thicker stuff I would be interested. Flimsy sides.

Between the bypass and hwy 19n on 202.

If either of you guys get by there again, would you PLEASE check out the 14'er. If would save me a trip from Tally. Let me know if it is worth checking out. I'm going to use it for a duck boat.
Thanks a bunch!!!

Rocket, I'll try to get by one day this week. Maybe Redbelly will get a chance as well. Other than 36" bottom, what else are you looking for ?

That is about it. The wider the bottom the better. It doesn't really need anything else as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks

I'll let you know what I find out.

Hey Rocket... that boat is a 15', 40inch wide bottom. Someone converted it , added seats (3) carpet, has a foot controlled trolling motor, depthfinder, livewelland I think a bilge pump.. The guy has steering controls for it but it will need a piece of wood replaced. Magic tilt trailer. No motor. He is asking $1500.00 but said if you didn't want the trolling motor he would take $1250.00. He said it doesn't leak. His name is Jesse, 229-226-2702. Boat didn't look to be in bad shape but I was in a hurry and didn't really poke around a lot. A few dings but nothing major.

The other boat is about 20 ft. I didn't look at it close but he said it does leak.

Jim
Thanks for the info, but I'm really looking for the "stripped down model". I just want to hang a go-devil off the back, and duck hunt .
Thanks again,
Rocket

I thought this one was more than you were looking for after I stopped and looked at it.

I doubt this one is Aluminum, but the price is right

1987 RAM Charger 360, $650; 16' Mako Jon Boat, $100; 16' Magic Tilt Trailer, $200; 850-321-1430

C'mon guys. Someone's uncle's, coousin's, step-dad's, great grandma's best friend has to have a 14' jon boat laying around they haven't used in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm running out of time, and I don't want to buy a new one.

Rocket, my experience has been that hunting a used aluminum jon boat is about the same as hunting hens teeth.

I never found a used one.

Seems like I'm always a day or two away from what I'm looking for. I've had a handful of people tell me they just sold theirs the day before I ask them.
