Top Five Tips to Buying a Second Hand Boat

[andrew_melbourne]

Hey everyone,

After many hours on eBay, Gum Tree, Boat Sales and Trading Post and after looking at a heap of boats, I finally found the one. It's pretty much ready to hit the water, all I need to buy are flares.

However, I'm planning on putting in a few more seats and other accessories (rod holders and bimi). Also, I'm planning on putting on a new motor, so I'll see how long this one lasts.

Thanks for all your help everyone.

Hey andrew,
Nice boat but if youre taking 4 ppl out in it you dont want them to be overweight. Also wouldnt recomend taking it out in anything less than ideal conditions(very calm) at first. Looking at the pics, you dont have much freeboard to play with should it blow up(get windy).

cheers

ps. I was in your year level at high school

Thanks mate. I can't wait to give it a crack.

To be honest, my intention was to have a boat that's easy for me to take out out on my own.

Next boat will definitely be bigger.
