Currenty have a beat to hell 1972 1436 monark with a 20hp LT. It's dented and hooked badly as well as leaks.
Do I:
Buy an older cheap used 1436
Buy a new alumacraft 1436 as a dealer by me has what is call good prices (also are their riveted boats relatively sturdy?)
Make do for this season and get something nicer this time next year.

Do not buy a riveted boat. Look at cottonmouth boats. They build some small mud boats

Agreed with all above ^. Wait and get a custom. Don't have to buy a new one. If you can, design it like you want it. If your going to get in the shallow or heavy vegitation, stups and logs, get a mud motor on it. You will never go back to an outboard.

Good luck NLAH.
