FOR SALE: 14' flatboat (needs work)

[Don Howard]

My oldest brother was keeping this to repair it "one day" so we can go fishing but he's outta state so the fishing trips in this boat isn't going to happen. My other brother's tired of having it by him so he said put it up on the block. See pics for the repairs needed. There are some holes and a center seam is split a few feet. I've been told it can be repaired by some people and other people said it cannot be repaired. Others have said to use fiberglass and wrap the bottom.

There's no trailer; says he used to put a flatboat in the bed of his truck and roll that way with a small motor and trolling motor. He's asking $100 or trades for ammo, hunting stuff, etc. The boat is in LaPlace.

Thanks for checking it out.

HA! Never thought of that. It's just that we're not going to really use the boat even if we get it repaired.

The OP might not want to fool with it, but you can get those aluminum brazing rods and patch these things up. I have done it and it is pretty simple.

My oldest brother bought those, or something similar so that my dad can weld up the seems but that was before katrina. Not sure if we ever found the rods. Trades and other offers are open if you want to "flip" the boat.

Does it have papers

Does it have papers

I'm waiting to hear back to see if it does. More than likely any records of the boat (like the car titles) have gone away with Hurricane Katrina. I know that when we used to use the boat a long time ago it had the LA boat registration stickers on the side. I'll get back with you ASAP when I get the details.

Any paperwork was lost with hurricane katrina.
