This is in regards to the ponton half bridge boats that the military used in ww2 and later, from what I have found, which isn't much, but I actually found one for sale, I don't really know the value of one. I was just wondering if anyone had any sort of idea what a price range is, or if there is one, I know these things can be valued at whatever you want to pay, but I don't want to pay too much lol. It's the 18.5 ft long 8ft wide 685# one, the guy has it on a trailer, it doesn't have any flooring so it's a blank canvas. He want's 2500 but doesn't have a title he is supposed to be going through the bank to get one but we'll see how that goes, but anyway any info on them would be much appreciated. Thanks!

That looks like a super cool boat but ya 2500 is way to much especially for a blank hull that is that old, Roscoe is right in there with his price.

That could be a really cool boat but not for that price

Yeah that's what I was thinking, yeah roscoe that was the main site for most of the info I've found I've seen mention of these boats on other forums, most of which were duck hunters and had added over the top blinds to them. But thanks for the feedback guys I was just wanting to make sure the price seemed high, I'll let you know if I can haggle him down to a reasonable spot, I'll undoubtedly have to start my own project thread then.
