WTB: 14-16' Semi-V (Starting New Thread)

[Carl]

As my search has progressed, I have refined the boats I am looking for.
So, I thought I would start a new thread.

I have sold my 1440mv and I am in the market for a deep, wide 14-16' semi-v.
My first choices are walk-thru floor plans:

1. Grumman 145SS or 165SS (Split Seat)
2. Sylvan/Smokercraft Alaskan 15 DLX
3. Sylvan/Smokercraft 14' Super Snapper
4. Lund SSV-14' or 16' (cant seem to find to many of these for sale though and the ones I have seen are way out of my price range)
5. Other similar hull

Second choice is a 16' hull with all bench seats. Including Lund S- or WC-16, Starcraft, Alumacraft V16, Grummans, Sylvans, Smokercrafts, etc..

Prefer short transom, a 25hp and galvanized trailer. If hull only, definately a short transom since my buddy has an older 25 Johnson I can borrow.

I am willing to drive a ways to get one in good shape. Prefer within 8-9 hours of Mobile, but I am open to entertain anything within a full days drive (15-17 hours).

If you have one you need to sell, or know of one for sale, please shoot me a PM or email at carl.ferraro@dcnr.alabama.go .
Even if it doesn't exactly fit my descriptions above, shoot it to me.
I will bump this up every other week or so.
Thanks guys!

I have a 16' semi V Crestliner... I want to get rid of it... it would be FREE for the taking!!!!!!

Carl - I've had a Aumacraft 1648 riveted mod V for the last 4 years and absolutely love it. It's the only jon boat that offers the option of a center seat or not without going to the cost of a welded boat. Even brand new, they're reasonable...

Just my 2 cents..

 

[Carl]

Funny you suggest that:
A guy at work told me Frifay that he just ordered a 1648NCS Flat Bottom from Alumacraft, I could not believe the price he got.
I may to talk to the salesman he worked with to see if I can swing it. BUt since I have to get a motor & trailer as well, its going to be tough.

 

[Carl]

I'm still considering it!!!

 

[Pat Gregory]

Carl - if you can swing it, spend the extra money and get the Modified-V...

 

[Pat M]

Sorry to hi-jack Carl

Phil serious about the 16'?

 

[Carl]

I would not even consider a flat jon boat.
Definately a deep mod-v if I stick with a jon boat style hull.

Carl,

Everytime I see an Aluminum boat for sale I think of you.
I'm not sure if this is what your looking for but the price looks right and it's ready to go. In addition, I may be heading down to VA Beach and can get that far for you if it helps.

i have a alumacraft mod-v all welded 1650 i am selling. boat and trailer only, and a custom flip down blind if wanted
the boat is in great shape i cant get pics to up load i can email them if interested

 

[Carl]

John, If it was 16', I would be thinking about it!
If I go with a MV-jon, it needs to be a 14 footer.
Thanks!

 

[Carl]

Trip,

Can you take a look at that for me?
Shoot me an emai, carl.ferraro@dcnr.alabama.gov

Thanks!

 

[Dave Diefenderfer]

Looks like a covered bow? Can that be removed or is it structural?

 

[Carl]

I would probably leave it in place and use the below deck area for storage.
Working on getting some pics of the inside to see what I would have to work with.
