My buddy just got a Tournament Pro 04 Alumacraft w/90 tiller for about that. 50 times the boat IMO. Longer, wider better resale safer in poor conditions.

Check craigslist in every city in your state regularly and you should find a good boat soon enough. If you don't mind driving to Minneapolis, thats the best city on craigslist usually.

If you want aluminum though I would stick to Lund or Alumacraft for too many reasons to name.

Personally I'd rather the Alumacraft I just paid 6k for than that Lowe. Any Lowe for that matter.

Personaly I'd look for some of these

Alumacraft Magnum, Tournament Pro, Navigator
Lund Pro V, Pro Angler
Ranger 692,690,681 any of the fisherman models newer than probably 97 are worth looking at.

Good luck
