I have the opportunity of purchasing a 1983 fiberglass flat bottom Jon Boat (do not know the maker) and trailer for $50. The floor is rotted out and smashed in but the hull floats. It has controls in the front of the boat (steering, shift, and throttle). The tires hold air and the trailer is good. Do you think that I should buy the boat or pass it by?

Howdy, OBS.<br /><br />It would be hard to find a trailer that wasn't worth $50. <br /><br />Go for it!<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

Think about it.... what can you buy for fifty bucks. Pretty much nothing take your boat and put a little money into it and go fishing!

I have a '91 Johnson 30hp that I will be using on this boat. It runs great so a motor will not be a problem. I purchased the boat and trailer.
