I'm also in the market for a 14-15 footer. The dimensions of my garage say that size + trailer is what I should get. Lots of junk out there on the used market and good deals go quick. Some guys selling need to look at the prices of new boats before listing their POS. Throwing a couple of life jackets and rod holders into the deal doesn't make your boat and rusted out trailer worth the price of a new one.


True, there are some real POS used boats and trailers out there.
After looking at a 13' boat recently, that length isn't going to cut it.
When I pull the trigger, it will be 15-16'.
