Little Cheap boats?
 

Thinking of starting to look for a small, 18 or less boat, dont have much to spend on it, want something with low freeboard, I/O or O/B, that can be running for 2k or less. Dosent need to be a big offshore, just handle smoothe water and some fast speeds if I do decide to put some power in it. Does anyone know of any boats like this?

Thanks,
Tommy

18' Hydro Stream with a 150 Merc. Wildass ride!!!

Look for an older STV. They are very quick and can be bought reasonable, although you may have to look to find one under $2k.

Yup Hydrostream ALL THE WAY!!!! :D:D

classic 16 or 18 donzi.

13 ft Bullet w/OMC 75

Glasstron with a large outboard on the back down the street from me for $1500.

I 2nd the Hydrostream......very cheap boats and FAST. I've seen plenty around for that price range, you can't beat em'.

I've got a 18' Mirage tunnelvee with a safety capsule and tandem trailer that I'll sell for $3500 (no motor).

I've got a 16' padvee runabout (closed bow and glass windshield) with a 260 Merc on a custom bunk trailer that I'll sell for $5500.

I also saw a Glastron GT150 for a couple of grand with a big old Chrysler outboard on it.

Have to go with a Hydrostream. You can get speed out of one with not much power and they are a real thirll to drive. In any case check out www.screamandfly.com Those guys are really into what you are looking for and there are some good deals over there.
