Currently shopping to update my boat... at my age, this will more than likely be my last boat.

First, I am shopping for a 14-16 foot tiller fishing boat... Dose a bank put a lien on such a small boat ? and if so, how dose a guy know when he buys a boat that a bank doesn't already have a claim of a lien on it, and if it has a title ???

Second, and most important. For a few years, a lot of boat manufactures used treated wood in the transom where the motor bolts on. The chemicals in the treated wood dose not play nice with aluminum and cause bad chemical oxidation that eats the aluminum away in short order. Dose anyone know what years that these infected boats were manufactured ?? Lund, Alumacraft, Smokercraft, and a lot of others used that treaded wood in the manufacture of the transom and it is very expensive to get that fixed.

All comments and opinions welcome


Well... we have come to the point.... where... the parasites are killing the host. It's only a matter of time now.

They only win.... when they cheat.
