Hello, I am looking for a 1448 Jon Boat with a decent trailer for fishing some rivers and small lakes with my kids. It doesn't need a motor or be set up fancy but that will also work.

If you have one or know anyone that has one just sitting around not being used let me know what you have.

I'm looking to spend between $750-$2000 depending on condition and accessories.

Thanks

It's not a Jonh Boat but there is a drift boat near me for sale. it' been for sale for a while and I have no idea what they are asking for it. It's been in their driveway with a 'For Sale' on it for several months.

Where are you located? I could get you their contact info.

Drift boat huh, I've never been on one or know much about them. Does it have a trailer? Any idea on the size of it?

I'm located about 20 minutes south of St. Paul but I'm willing to drive pretty much anywhere for a good deal.

It is sitting on a trailer, so I'm assuming it's part of the deal. I can snap a pic next time I walk by.

They are more popular out west for fly fishing rivers. They float really shallow and are stable boats to fish out of. Not sure how it would be on a lake, I think they are made to be carried by a current rather than self propelled.

Nice, I am looking for something that floats really shallow and stable. I did a google search and it looks like they are decent on lakes and can have a motor on them.

Maybe it would be better then a jon boat? Yeah get some pics and a little info on it if you can that would be appreciated. Mainly the size and price, I see some of them are super spendy.

Thanks
