    Buying a 1240 jon boat

    Hey guys, i'm going to pickup a lowe 1240 boat sometime soon and was wondering who has a good price and is a good dealer to buy from?
    I aready have a 1448 which is great but want to get a smaller one for another lake I have a base on.
    What's a rough idea on price for these? Thanks

    I purchased my 1040 and 1440 from Cascade Marine in Chilliwack. Called around and they had the best prices. Good service

    Son bought his 1040 last year from the Dealer in Kamloops, he's pretty happy with it.
    We went to last year's Outdoor Show in Abbotsford ( next weekend this year ) and looked at a bunch of different makes and models, that helped him decide.

    I'll also have to drag it 20km or so behind the snowmachine to get it in while I can.

    If you are in Edmonton my brother and I have been happy with the prices we paid for 3 different boats from Free Spirt Marine there.

    Bought a 10-40 Lowe from them and Domenic gave me a great deal on it.
    I'm glad he did as I had to bring it back into town.
    First time out I had four leaks.
    You read that right...........four frick'in leaks.
    Had to take it back and they had a welder finish up some welds that
    were porous at the ends.

    These 40 wide boats are sure nice and stable.
    Still sitting on the fence whether I should of gone for the 12'
    verses the 10'.

    Hoping to find a electric boat loader.

    I think you could get a decent buy this time of year as spring is just
    far 'nuff away the pencil may still be sharp.

    Silver streak and spratley both make a good welded Jon boat if your looking for other ideas. They both have decent website you can check them out at
