I was raised on the Missouri River near St Joe MO and have longed for those muddy waters since I moved away in '87. Now I live 30 miles from my old friend and want to buy a boat so we can get re-aquainted.
I found a 17' Spectrum Dominator aluminum bass boat with a '94 40 hp Force that has power trim, trolling motor, pedistal seats, storage, livewell, bilge, built in fuel cell, newer Quick Silver controls, teleflex steering, Eagle fish finder, Sharkskin bimini top, 2 alum. props. Boat/motor/trailer are all 1994 models. The boat has in/outdoor carpet over the aluminum deck. Asking price is $3000. This looks like the boat I'd like to run on the river but don't know much about Spectrum or Force. I have no experience with these makers/models. I used a 16' Lowe flat bottom jon with a 25 hp Merc. during my years running the river. It was light but powerful enough for me to handle myself as I often went with my best dog. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I need durablity and dependablity as I will be taking my 74 year old mother with me frequently so she can paint on canvas.
