Title: looking for a boat
Post by: E-Town Hunter on March 01, 2008, 09:49:11 AM: I am looking for an early 2000's 12' fishing boat. I have narrowed my choices down to a Smoker craft "Alaskan" or possibly a Lund. I am looking for it to be a Deep V hull style. Does anyone know of any good dealerships that have something like this? My dollar limit is about $2500. Over here in Eastern Wash. there aren't a whole lot of dealers. I know there are a ton on the west side which I'm not against checking out.

E-Town, I live in Stevens country and saw a lot of boats for sale last spring in Wenatchee, Bridgeport, Yakima, Spokane, Moses Lake, and various farming communities where the pressure was nill and boats were siting waiting for a buyer. I saw mine advertised for 3 months before I finally made up my mind and bought it. Westside probably has a faster turn over than here...
