Is that a Merc on the back? What size? 18, 25?

Trailer looks good, actually, it looks a lot like mine.
Get ya a couple flip up seats and some anchor mates and your all set.

Price is right too.

yeah its a mercury (im not getting it though). im going to totally redo the inside. taking out at least one bench set and placing a tall swivel est up there, then placing one on the bench in the back.

Im placing 1/4" flooring in it covered in carpet. building storage are up front and placing a hand winch for the anchor. getting a fishfinder for it. the seats im getting are the plastic ones with the camo paddign in them from bass pro...

Why don't you get the engine?

Do her up the way you want it. I set my little 14' flat up for two people. That way, we weren't in each others way. Even built little "bait tables" so we did not have to work off the bench.
Best thing I bought was an electric anchor mate and troller.
You'll enjoy it.
