10 foot jon boat -- $200

There's nothing wrong with this boat. No leaks, zero, zip, nada. I just want something bigger.
Oars are included and actually work quite well. If you use a motor, oars are a good backup in case you run into mechanical difficulties, out of gas, dead battery, etc.
I'll also throw in:
* Mushroom anchor w/rope.
* "Custom" padded seat (re-engineered since this photo was taken.)
* Rod holder that can easily be moved anywhere on the boat.
* Fish net (for the bigguns!)
I rebuilt the transom last year using 1 inch plywood. It's now VERY solid and will accommodate a 3 hp gas motor or a giant trolling motor.
How many times have you gone to a sporting goods store to buy a $3 pack of hooks and ended up dropping a couple hundred bucks on miscellaneous crap? Do yourself a favor -- spend that money on a boat and give yourself access to more water!
After all, the #1 rule for catching fish is "fish where the fish are". If you can't follow this rule, nothing else matters...
