bought my new toy in the wrong season

[Alberta_Qaudin]

well I've been keeping an eye on boats for a while. but havent really had the money to spare lately, but i found a deal i couldn't resist. i bought it as a project but for the most part part all it needs it some paint some new windows. priced out the material at about $100, and had to pick up a thrust pin. all of $15.

its a 14" peterburough with a 55hp johnson that from getting it in the water for a little bit seem to run like a top. i got it for $1200

Looks like a neat boat, You can fish out of it and still cruise the lake.

I picked up my 95 bayliner a few years ago for $4000. I love being out on the lake. Good luck with the project.

i'm hoping, with some fresh paint and a gel coat, a sheet of plexiglass for the windows (thank god they're not curved) and some sand down and clean up of the "deck" area and it will do me good for a year and turn it over for a fairly good profit down the road but for $1200 hell i can sell the motor alone for that. not sure about pricing in the states but out boards old or new are expensive
