New used boat help
Hello! I am looking at a new to me used boat. I primarily fish Kentucky and Barkley lake and the Ohio river. I will also use the boat to duck hunt in the winter. The boat I am considering purchasing is a 2002 Alweld 1860 welded boat. The boat is equipped with a 2002 Yamaha 60 hp 4 stroke tiller handle motor. This boat also has 25” side depth which I’ve heard is slightly higher than some other models. How would this boat treat me fishing on the big lakes (Kentucky and Barkley) ? Obviously I wouldn’t be Using it during bad weather. I like the model because it can suit both fishing And hunting. Any tips and info is appreciated. If anyone has any opinions on the boat and/or the motor I would love to hear them. This boat is priced at $6000 firm which sounded like a good price from comparable boats I’ve seen. Thank you all in advance and God bless.

Sounds like a very fair deal if in good shape. I prefer a console but tiller does free up some space.
I would say you would be fine in 10 to 12 mph winds. Would not risk it much more than that. I assume this is a mod V bottom. If true flat bottom I would keep looking or stick to smaller water or really calm days.
New boats are always exciting so be patient and get the right one!
