Well, I've been scouring through all the craigslist ads within 200 miles from me looking for a "deal" the last few weeks. I didn't want to spend more than $3000. Boy, it's hard to find much of a boat for under $3k . I was looking for an aluminum v bottom with flat carpeted floors, livewells, a boat cover, a 25hp or larger tiller steer motor, pedestal seats, some storage etc. Well, I almost got what I wanted. I picked up a 1986 16' Lowe Lunker III, 50 hp console steer, carpet everywhere, boat cover, pedestal seats, plenty of storage, foot controlled trolling motor and electric anchor mates. Everything works and is ready to fish! I got it for $2250. I thought it was a pretty good deal. I am planning on redoing all the carpet as it really is showing its age. All in all, I'm pretty happy about the purchase. The only thing I wish it had was a tiller steer motor so I could easily take it off for those electric motor only places . You know those places I'm talking about don't you Troy ? I have a couple of pics I'll post here that the previuos owner provided but when the weather improves(I had to pull this home in an ice storm ) I'll post better ones. The rectangle you see on the bow in the next pic is residue left from the for sale sign. Will be removed shortly
