Hey guys,

I posted a while ago here for the first time and received great feedback immediately. Hoping I can get some more help. I've been fishing from shore on the city lakes for two or three years now. I want to buy a boat for the summer that I can use on these lakes. I found one that seemed like a pretty good deal however I then was told "No holes but it will get wet a long the seam in the rear. But was never a problem. It would just get wet. But that was when there were three of us in the boat."

The boat is a 12 foot aluminium 1963 Sea King. It also come with a 1980s Highlander trailer. I talked him down to 250 for the boat and trailer. I have a trolling motor and old humminbird up at the cabin that I would use on the boat.

Is this a reasonable price and should I be worried about the seam that 'leaks' water? Would this serve me well for a first boat on the city lakes? Any other suggestions for a first boat that's on a tight budget?

Thanks much guys!
~Danny
