Here is you a boat, I saw this on the other forum, I think he was asking $3995

It is a 1986 Starcraft Mariner 210 center console aluminum boat. It has a 1984 Johnson 115hp outboard. It has a new transom, new steering helm and cable, new bilge pumps, new live well pump, 2 new batteries, new led lighting in the interior, a lowrance x125 fish finder, all new flotation foam under the floor, The rivets in the hull here sealed with gluvit to prevent any leaking, new bunks rollers and hardware on the trailer. The motor has great compression, new water pump and carb kits, and new thermostats. It has new led lighting inside and new lights and wires on the trailer. I repainted it last year using rustoleum marine topside paint. I am including a link that shows the rebuild process from the start.

18 footer??? I would recommend a SeaArk Rivercat 180 center console. I have a 2072 Rivercat deck/VCat hull center console.
I love my boat and have it rigged with 14 duo pro driftmasters and Lowrance HDS sonars/gps.

Check out SeaArk's website. The Rivercat 180 doesn't have a pic, but I bet you can find one on the web somewhere.
Good luck

If I was getting a boat just for catfish I would get a toon! So much more smooth in the waves!

Kind of a pain to park/stow and pull around a toon, though. The aforementioned Vcat is my dreamboat $$$, and I am a catfisherman. I'd like to fish outta one in the next 10 years though before I squander my life savings.

Thats what I am looking for, one that will last and make my money worth the purchase. All these boats have their pro's and con's but whats worth more to me is a durable boat.
