You are trading an old jeep for an old boat... Lots of us got our start in similar fashion. Old boats can be HUGE headaches if they were not cared for properly.

Good Luck!

If you are mechanicaly inclined an old boat may be OK. I owned an older boat a few years ago and it had it's issues that would have cost $$$$ to fix if I did not do them myslef. It was a good boat that did not cost a ton of money to keep going.

If your talking a $1000 boat and you can repair it yourself you really don't have that much ot lose. Just don't drop it of at a marina for repair and dump $5000 in to it...
