Have you considered a float tube? You can get one for under $50 at BassProShops. I've been doing this for a few months now, and I can't tell you how much fun it is!

I didn't check your profile, but if your in D/FW and want to get together for some tubing, shoot me an email.

I saw a 12 foot V-Bottom aluminum boat with a 70-something year outboard..bout a 5HP I think. The guy is asking $1000 for it. It's in Hurst. He says it cranks by the 3rd pull every time and he's redone the lights on the trailer and the bearings. I just looked at it, but I think I'm gonna hold out for a new boat next year.

I wish you would have told me about wanting a two man boat earlier and I didn't even think about it. My nieghbor sold his two man bass buddy boat last week. $500.00,good condition,battery,trolling motor,fish finder. That guy down the road still has that mid 80's skeeter w/ the 200hp johnson,sitting in his back yard. He was wanting $2400.00 for it. It's not the best looking,but motor runs good and the structure is solid. Also,pick up the boat trader,they had a few smaller boats in it for average prices. What kind of price range are you wanting to stay in ?

i have been considering the float tube i used to have one several years ago only bad thing i noticed of them no leverage on the hook set unless they are redesigned now also i talk with eric everyday we have fished together a few times and at the cc tourny very nice guy. go n fish n now you tell me sure guys i work with go n fish n i know him well we kid each other a lot and at work also, well vance if i had 2400 to but it i remember you telling me about it i would probably buy it but with little cash hard to do right now.but honestly didnt even think of going to a smaller boat till yesterday when i gave up trying to find a bigger boat lol. i figure when you get yours ill just come over and pick yours up and go out and i may even let you know i coming over to get it when i fish pool when i come back ill let you know how i did lol. just kidding buddy. if i cant find one to finance owner wise or payout ill go with a smaller one, im thinking about erics procraft he starting to like his terry boat he bought. hes putting a 130 on the procraft so it will run pretty good i would think with it, not sure yet just leaving my options open riht now
thanks all

I've been thinking of selling mine lately so you might be in luck. It's a 73 Kingfisher with a newly rebuilt 50 Evinrude that runs like a scalded dog... Has live well, trolling motor, and finder. I'd probably give it up for $1500 or trade for a 4-wheeler..
