Check out the new Hay Woods and Wetlands love boat! Picked up this little vintage Springbok aluminum fishing boat for $400 Canadian. Come see how she performs on her maiden voyage!

We had a remote lake cabin on Lake Shasta, accessible only by boat. Absolutely best boat for us, was a 1960, 14.5 ft. fiberglass with 40 hp SeaKing. Bought it used, cheap!! Was the most versatile, easiest to own/use boat we ever had. Could move family and supplies. Great memories. Nowadays everything is over-engineered..

Now I want an old boat for my new pond. I would be happy with anything that floats and I can spend hot afternoons dipping my feet in the water or hanging out with the pond life.

Great size boat, that hull looks deep enough to take on some pretty big waters.

Old aluminum boats are the best. You seldom see fiberglass or wooden boats lasting as long as aluminum boats do. I've owned several and currently own a 14 foot deep V, 1969 Proline with a 1969 electric start 25hp Evinrude. I got the boat, two motors (25hp Evinrude & a 7.5hp Honda 4 stroke) a very nice trailer, battery, oars, paddles and anchor for $500 dollars U.S.

good on you them older boats are better then the newer ones as long as the motor works my grandfather had a old sears sea king 14 foot with a 25 hp Johnson motor from the 60's he used it for years intell he sold it in the early 2000's for noting i remember he he never had a trailer for it we threw it in the back of his old extended bed dodge 79 Dakota 4X4 and went to the greenbrier river for the week ends to catch large mouth and small mouth and sriper and catfishing on his days off from working in the coal mines those boats are a lot better made then new one for sure

I run a 1959 Johnson 18hp on my 14ft springbok. It’s rated for 20hp

[steventhorntonsr.]

Hey you said that was a 2 stroke engine. Is it actually? I have one just like it thats a 4 stroke. It has a lawnmower type engine on it. Awesome boat and a wonderful motor. I have a 1960 Sea Maid.

Fantastic video
I’m in the same boat, looking for an old cheap boat

[sethgabbard]

Hello there. Hopefully that motor is still running. Although the actual motor is air cooled the exhaust is water cooled. They are cooked by an impeller. You will have to purchase a new one. The exhaust is cooled so the seal in the crank shaft doesn’t go out. Also the little impeller pieces can go into the motor. Just a quick tip!

Yes a used boat in perfect conditions like that, it's about 250 USD with old engine, it's a good price, a very good price for care a boat and give a kids extraordinary memories. Finally nobody own an aluminum boat, only keep it for some year's. Congratulations

[gregweber]

Upgrade to a more popular motor, like a 9.9 Evinrude. Perfect for a boat like that. I have one now. Those Ted William motors are difficult to get parts for and not popular because of reliability issues.

[andrewmayfield]

I have the same motor and a 14 ft vhull also!!👍

[ristube]

Get some good miles on a 13km lake eh? Just playin, good for you guys.

[marvintodd]

great find great vid. never mind the rude ass comments.. but i would recomend running water thru the bottom end when not in water. just sayin

[redneckcustoms]

Hey bud I have one of those boat motors and the top end is air cooled but the bottom is water cooled so if you keep running that out of water you will blow it up
