14' Sears Aluminum boat - looking for opinions
Hi all. New here...Gotta lot of great information on here...
I have a chance to buy a 14' Sears aluminum boat from a guy I know. Don't know the year, but it's an older V bottom with three bench seats. 9.9 motor on the back, trolling motor, trailer, swivel seats. I think I can get it for around $800.00. Seems like a no brainer, but want to hear what you guys have to say about it.
I looked at it this morning, but didn't remember to pay attention to whether it was riveted or welded. Does it make a difference? Also, the size is my biggest hesitation - is a 14' big enough? I mainly fish smaller lakes around SW Ohio, but go to Grand Lake St. Mary's in northern ohio pretty often.
Just looking for a little more information. Thanks.
