You mentioned that you were looking for a boat. You also mentioned that you could not work. Are you interested in a fixer-upper? Are you able to work on it a bit?
I have a mid-'70's model SeaCraft 17-1/2 ft that I bought a year ago, and after 1 month decided I needed something "finer".
The Good: fairly new Min-Kota TM and Cuda fish-finder...roughly $400 worth of stuff.
The Bad: engine (40hp Merc) needs work, there is a leak needing patching, needs new carpet, and seat bolts need replacing/ tightening. You'd probably want to replace some wiring before too long. AND IT'S ORANGE!
If you want to screw around with an old boat, shoot me a PM...
