I've known the Livingston family for most of my life. John and David (sons of David Sr.) are still designing and building boats in Kent. Great guys and a family name you can count on! These older Livingston boats are awesome boats and are literally unsinkable. They are very stable with multiple people, even in rough water. That boat will handle like a champ with a 15ph outboard. Great find and an awesome deal if it's that photo speaks to it's overall condition.
Yea it is in good shape, the photo is from yesterday I just got done pressure washing it after it had been sitting for a few yrs. I plan on paiting it OD green with some shadow grass stenciling for a litle duck hunting at times. I had a 12 footer aluminum but it was not stable at all. Im stomed for opening day!

On one, I installed seat and a console steer setup mounted fwd on the center and ran a 9.9 Johnson. That thing was a fishing machine out at Point no Point.

It had a 9.9 Johnson on it until somebody decided to steal the motor right off the back of the boat (while it sat around back next to the garage). That motor was replaced with a 20 hp Evinrude.
The 9.9 was okay, but the 20hp did much better on there. If I remember right, it was rated for 35hp.....???

Just picked this thing up tonight. Super excited to get it out on the water. It came with a 15 hp motor and I would like to buy an electric motor for it. How many ft / lbs of thrust would you look for with a boat like this. It is a 12 footer.
Thanks
Johnny

I use to use the battery out of my truck. I would drive up, take out the battery and run the Minkota until it had just enough to get back to the dock, put it back in the truck and drive home, LOL
I finally bought a marine battery years later.

Nice set up :tup: I have a 38lb thrust and I got a 46lb from my buddy who wasnt using it anymore, The 38 worked but the 46 is better. Thats all I have been using lately, havent ran my 10hp but 2 times since picking it up. Loving my boat so far!! Glad to see you finally found a nice one!! Congrats :)
