Wow, thanks for all the detailed info on what to look for guys! That’s awesome. Maybe when I pay off my student loans I’ll invest in a larger boat with a bigger motor & more bells & whistles, but until then, if I can get my hands on a competent boat at a reasonable price to be able to do more than just shore fish I hope I’ll be ahead of the game. I fish with my ex’s dad & he’s an accomplished machinist & competent mechanic with space to store the boat indoors over winter. Getting a boat would allow us to get out on the water more, especially now that my kids (his grand-kids) are getting older. My impression on Starcraft is that they are an overall good quality / sturdy boat (if maintained well – I’m sure as with anything). Does this ring true with the rest of you?
Thanks!

WalleyeNordy,
Thank for the info! Here’s a couple pictures of the boat I’m looking at…
