thought ide share my good luck with everyone.last sept.,i started looking around for a deal on a boat and after about a month of searching i finally found it.it is a 1991 lowe 16 ft.,alum row boat with a 1999 karavan trailer.the boat is in like new condition,not a dent on it.i found it on craigslist in manchester n.h.the guy i got it from is retired and no longer is able to use it.he put a electical system cotrol box in it to run the bilge,run lights ,depthsounder,spot light,troll moter etc.all this came with the boat,also a new bimini top,seven foot oars,anchor.the boat has two storage boxes,swivel seats and the inside has got new paint.the guy said that the boat has only been in the water 16 times and it looks it.the trailer never saw the water u ntil i got it.the thing is heavy duty,twenty inch transome,double riveted. ipaid 1000 dollars for the boat,trailer and everything else.i didnt even try to talk him down on the price as i couldnt bring myself to do it.now im getting ready for the quabbin.ive got a 20h.p.johnson for it that i got real cheap also.so,for anyone out there looking for a boat ide suggest graigslist and keep looking the good deals are out there.Thumbsup
