My husband just bought a new aluminum jon boat last month. It was actually a pretty good deal. The boat is a 2005 which was still on the dealer's lot. The dealer did not want it there when the 2007s were delivered so he dropped the price about $600. My husband is hysterically happy with it. Yesterday, he had a welded floor and utiity box installed by a backyard welding guy for another $660- boy that stuff is expensive but this boat will be with him the rest of his life. There I picked the under $5000 in debt. Hopefully, he will get his old boat sold so we can pay off part of this debt. I paid for the boat and the floor/box with our home equity loan.
