Im looking for a 9 or 10 foot fiberglass boat. no aluminum, or inflatable. id like there to be a trolling motor on it. i would really like a water tender 9.4. boat has to be floating condition. and trolling motor has to be in decent condition.

im looking to spend around 300

Port a boat is better for you.

Why not aluminum though?

you might want to consider an aluminum boat,light weight for you to throw on top of the suburban.

if someone had an aluminum i would probably get it. i couldnt have a trailer though. and it would have to be no longer than 10ft.

Good Find Artoor! Sam, you can get a brand new trolling motor for about $100 in bps I think.... Saw em on sale a few weeks ago.... X-mas sale will be awesome....lol.... You should also just lowball the price of the boat and also put up a little more $$$ and also buy a gas outboard later on.... get a small Nissan/Tohatsu....Yamaha, Mercury, Johnson/Evinrude, Suzuki etc..... Try selling the float tube on CL too.... and keep the fishfinder for the new boat,,, :-)

Yes I have a 9' Inflatable. It is beat up really bad,,, But when it was good it was pretty comfortable to fish out of and a 2.5hp nissan pushed it pretty well.... worked for 2 people well.... Inflatatin was somewhat of a hassle but it was stable,,,

Look for a used Livingston 10'. They are awesome. Here is a new one for a great price:

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/boa/1443696280.html

Normally I think they're about 2K.

The Water Tender 9.4 is only $599 new at West Marine.

Go here for some good coupons to save more dough:

http://www.meancoupons.com/west_marine/

You can definitely find a used Water Tender 9.4 on craigslist for $300. I've seen them there before, once even with a trailer I think.

Good luck on your search. The catamaran style hull dingies are best for the 8-12' sizes. Much more stable and comfortable.

i can only spend 300 unless i sell my float tube. i would love a livingston, just way outta my range. i saw the water tender 9.4 on west marine but i dont have the money for it. thanks for the looking out.

No problem, dude. Just keep checking craigslist. Check all day long, numerous times. LA, OC, Inland Empire, Ventura. You will find one for $300 but you have to have the money in your pocket and be ready to pounce like a freakin' tiger! Wouldn't hurt if you had a truck ready to pick up the boat on the hop, too.

Good luck!

I have this inflatable that has been just sitting in my back yard that I just want to get rid of. It's on pretty good shape. I tried to sell it last year but I was asking too much ($450)

I'm looking to get $250 for it or trade for a small aluminum. It will go on Craigs list in the next week or two if no one is interested.

It's not a hard bottom, it has blue slats. It will hold 2 people ok, but I would get a second cushion.

Why not an inflatlable? They are extremely stable for a small craft. Two people can sit on the same side of our inflatable without fear of tipping over. Can't say you could do the same on a small fiberglass/aluminum dinghy. I used to have a 10ft aluminum way back and we had to make sure to sit in the middle at all times. It was kinda scary at times when me and my brother would shift our weight around from one side to another. We always had to make sure to evenly distribute the weight. The only problem with an inflatable is setting it up all the time as Geordy said, but it sounds like you have the storage space, so you could always leave it setup in the garage or backyard. We have a 10ft now and we love it. Also if you capsize in an inflatable, your boat won't sink to the bottom of the ocean. Safety, safety, safety. :LOL:

As for a trolling motor, we bought ours brand new at Sports Chalet for $99. It's a Minn Kota 30-36lb thrust. Oh don't forget about a deep cycle battery and charger. That might set you back a little if you don't already have those.
