I'm looking for a used small 12ft - 16ft aluminum fishing boat. Any websites?



Ebay or craigslist however they are both hit or teeny-bopper. If you aren't in a rush I suggest checking each site daily for new listings and eventually you'll find a understanding large that suits you.(I just purchased a 16ft boat off craigslist and am very satisfied)

Most honest deals are found in your own backyard, or rather a neighbors backyard. I found one of my first boats that way. Rode by it about 500 times before I noticed it never moved, lately sitting there aging more every day. If you notice one like this, just stop by and ask the owner if they are interested in selling it. But online, I scout Craigslist routine for a deal.

Aluminum Fishing Boat Question...?

I'm looking to hold a used 14ft aluminum fishing boat...
The boat and trailer were first purchased in 1977.

The evinrude motor and mercury electric trolling motor were first purchased in 1979.

I'm purchasing from the indigenous owner... everything has been garage kept.

All that being said... Should I be concerned with the age of the boat? motor? trolling motor? trailer?

What would you deem a fair offer for such a boat?


You should not be caring about the age of the boat and motor. The trolling motor maybe okay, but they do not hold up as well, but if it fails while you are out fishing you can still get home. The trailer should be method worthy - good tires, lights.

Value for such a package - depends. I would think a fair value would be $1000 to $1500. End of the boating/ fishing year makes for passable deals, so maybe a little less.

Good Luck and Boat Safe !

how to repair a leaking aluminum boat?

chagrined, aluminum fishing boat, has sprung a leak, what's the best material to use for repair?


OK Shannon here's the distribute. If It is a riveted boat you can take a sledge hammer and lay it on one side of the rivet and take a second hammer and smack the opposite side for a quick fix and squish, no more leaky rivet. If it is a mistake you can use aluminium JB weld, if used properly, and that will give you a temporary fix in till you can take it in and get a plate migged on. If you do, make sure they up off the edges. We've had the JB cold weld last all season, if your short on cash. Fiberglas does not line, it never did. Hope this helps.

Aluminium is fantabulous for towing as it is light.
Fibreglass rides better and handles better.
Zodiacs are a compromise and can be uninflated to put into aeroplanes.
Depends on what you neediness.
