    Ever hear of a ridgeline boat?

    I am STILL looking for a decent fishing boat and came across one that looks pretty nice. The lady is getting a divorce and told me it was a 1971 ridgeline boat. It is 15' and made of aluminum. Has anyone ever head of a ridgeline? I did an internet search and came up with a bunch of Hondas.

    Still looking for a boat, found a lonestar possibility

    The problem is that it needs a little work. The guy told me it needed plywood runners for rigidity and a 2x6 transom installed. He was not sure what model it was, but I am sure it is the simple fishing variety, because he only wants $350 for it w/trailer. I have just noticed that all discussion...

    Alumicraft/Lonestar in general who makes the better 14' semi v hull?

    I already have a trailer and motor. I just need to know which would be the better boat to pursue. Those motors are selling pretty well on craigslist, so I can probably talk them into splitting them up. Thanks http://wichita.craigslist.org/boa/1632134167.html...

    I am looking to purchase a small boat. I came across this boat on craigslist and the guy does not know what the brand is. It's 16 feet long and originally had a riveted in wooden transom. He is going to try to find the title tommorrow, so he can give me a brand name. Any guesses? Let's see who...
