10' Jon Boat

SOLD..........

[Rockman]

I have a 10' Sears Jon boat that im selling. Fished it in some local ponds. Good for one person and light enough that I can carry it to the water by myself. Will include a small trolling motor. Asking $400 for it. Boat is located in Shingle springs.

How wide is the bottom, any leaks, and is it just my monitor, is the boat purple?
What trolling motor comes with the boat. The transom wood looks weathered, does it need to be replaced.
I am looking for a 10' or 12' flatbottom.

Thanks !
Will

Bottom is 32" wide. Transom is fine as far as im concerned. Boat doesn't leak more than the usual drip from the drain plug. Trolling motor is an older one. Ill take pictures this evening when I get home.

I bought one at Sears in the 1960s for $75.00 new.

Today a boat like that would be $1,000 or so.

Interesting, you say that, Bill... PRICE UPDATE: Asking $1000 for the boat....

Just kidding.

It was my first boat and I have some old photos somewhere.

It started my love for getting on the water in a boat.

I am actually a pretty good mechanic and I had an old Elgin motor that I worked on to get running for that boat.

Not my video but kind of brings back old memories.
