second boats
I’m looking at second hand boats and am wondering a few things?
Ok well me and my father got our licenses half way through last year and are looking at getting a boat in about a month.
We have a small budget so we are looking at second hand boats and need something under 10, 000 preferably under 5,000
We need something that can pull a blow up donut or knee boarder
Also something that can hold 5 people, (2 adults 3 kids)
I mainly wanted to find out if there is an age were boats start falling apart, Also is there an age at which a motor would start having problems
If you now of anything that would be suitable or can give me any advice on what to by and what to look out for when looking at second hand boats it would be greatly appreciated
Regards Jared
Thanks smoothie for your answer 
, very helpfull
Some things you want to check are the transom; make sure you don’t have any sponginess, especially around where the motor mounts to it. Another thing is to make sure the stringers (sort of like ribs that radiate out from the keel of the boat) are in good shape. These are two areas where boats “fall apart”, are expensive to fix, and easy to overlook. For that kind of money it would be worth it to insist on a marine survey by a professional and/or licensed marine surveyor.

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank $5.97 Their last album may have given them a certifiable radio hit, airtime on VH1, and a Kidz Bop tribute, but listening to the follow-up to 2004′s Good News for People Who Love Bad News, you might get the sense that the members of Modest Mouse are flinching at the spotlight. We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, the group’s fifth full-length release, is denser than its predecessor with tunes that se… |

Aaliyah $21.99 Seven years after her debut at just 15 years old, Aaliyah assembled a third studio album that was astonishingly mature. Sadly, her death just a little over a month after its release stilled a promising voice in R&B. At 22, when most artists would just be getting started, Aaliyah had already progressed from pop to street to an unconventional retro-modern, risk-taking version of R&B. While lead trac… |
