I really would love to get a little duck boat with a mud motor. What's the best way to go about finding that kind of used boat? Websites? Classifieds or Thrifty nickle type paper?
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

I believe Texas Heat had a longtail for sale not long ago.

I know someone that has had both. He said he would never go back to a long tail. After Hurricane Katrina, his Go-devil was stolen. Went to a Gator-tail and swears by it. http://www.gator-tail.com/index.html

Are you looking for a rig already assembled, or boat, trailer, and repower the boat later?
And what size boat are you talking about as well?

Check out craigslist. Just make sure you check out different cities that you'd be willing to travel to. I've seen some gems come up on there, but you have to be quick to get 'em. I've been keeping tabs for awhile now, myself, since we are looking for something as well. Good luck, Marcstar.
