Need Some Input
I today stoped in Bend and looked at a 18 foot alumweld sled, it has a console, the boat looks like it's in great shape, it need to have the floors replaced, the boat is a 1989, and the 115 IT IS A 1989 with pump that has been serviced with a satandard, alumiuan (sp) propeller, less than 6 hrs on service, the trailer needs to have 1 of the rollers re-welded, fish finder, no top, everthing works and the asking price is $5400.00, I was talking to the owner and he said if I like he would have it taken to All seasons marina and show me that it well check out.
What do you all think ??? as I cant think at this time.
Thanks and Tight Lines.--------R/RAT.

FLAT BOTTOM SLED, AND THE MERK IS A 1150,
20 gallon tank, rod holders, needs battery, and the floors replaced. other than that no damage to the boat.

Re: Need Some Input
Chances are it's well built. They built them better back then. If you want a top...figure another $1500. I'd take it for a spin before I buy it...just so you know how it performs. Also, I'd look for "cancer" in the trailer as it could very well be there after 15 years.

Re: Need Some Input
I have a 87 flat bottom alumaweld 18' with 115 jet. I like it a lot. I do have full canvas for it though. I also have a gavanized alumaweld traler. Its a great boat and the price does not sound to bad. Just make sure everything works and factor in the floor replacement.

Re: Need Some Input
Check out the post in I Fish comm. By GRB,Titled just finished my new floor.
Looks like a great way to go for a reasonable price.
The flatbottom will be a rough rider but should still be a good boat.Just depends on what you want.
Also,did you click on the link to Stevens marine,used boat selection.You might find something there that fits yiur budget and doesnt need a lot of work.Or at check around to see if you could find something to compare to.
Good luck on getting your new boat.
Rick

Re: Need Some Input
you should take it for a test run alot of boats sound like they run good out of the water but when you put a load on the motor it dont all so the jet might need so TLC so you need to test it before you buy
