Exactly! You'd be surprised how many serviceable boats are out back
"keeping the rain off the firewood."



I live in Kitchener Ont, and My cottage is 4 hours away, but you'd be
surprised how hard it is to find something used that will work. And also
without a motor.

Probably none of these are exactly what you're looking for, but maybe
they'll give you some ideas. Who knows, maybe what you want is right there!

here is my boat.I have some video somewhere of it going about 20 with
the 25 horse ...

It's just a big flat bottom skiff. It's rides a little hard but if
speed isn't your thing, it's great..

Where are you located? I see that its an all wooden boat. Plus Mine isn't a
tiller engine. How much are you selling it for? I am sort of looking for
aluminum.. but I so appreciate all the help from everyone.

Well, I live in CT and the boat is not for sale, I was just pointing
you in a direction to look. A big flat bottom skiff, wide, high sides
like this sounds like the deal for you if you can find one. Of course
I can tell you how to build one for less than 500 bucks too but that's
another story Anyway, on a lake with mostly calmer days this boat
will travel 15-20+ mph depending on trim and load. They do pound hard
in a chop, and with only a slight rake on the sides, they are kind of
wet. But that's the tradeoff for the space, speed, and cost.

MIne is just a simple plywood skiff, built in my backyard. Like I
said, I have a 25horse console steering engine on now, I love it.

If I had a boat as pretty as that, it would never get used. I could never
find water clean enough to put the boat in!

I didn't know you had a console in that thing now, I just
automatically thought it was a tiller motor.

You can push most boats with it. You will not get high speeds, maybe less
than 10 mph.
