It's a 12' v-hull rowboat with a deck and a trailer. No motor. Originally on Craig's List for $480, he said he would take $350. I have NEVER owned a boat before, let alone a trailer. Do you see anything in the pictures that would make you lean one way or the other? Thanks for your input!!

I don't know man, if it were me and i've never owned one either. but that looks like it still needs a lot of work to get ready.
i'd hold off unless you plan on spending more than it's worth.
my 2 cents

It looks like the wood he used to build the deck is raw (not PT/painted or treated), which means it will rot away within 2 yrs.

V hulls and custom decks are tricky. If the boat is not wide enough to handle a higher center of gravity it will tip real easy. Especially if there are 2 people. Trailer maybe hurting tires/bearings. The carpet is nailed so it will come up. Not much room for gas tank or battery. 200-300 for it if he takes deck out.

So that's a resounding "NO!" Thanks for the input.

I have a 12' Jon boat if interested with an old galvy trailer. I still need to take some pics ... the details are posted in the classified's. It is a good boat and just sitting so a good deal to a MAFF'r to get it out of the yard.
