I went to a local dealer to look at jon boats. The brand they carry is Polar Craft. I can find no info on this brand online... kinda weird. I did find a Polar Kraft website, but it does not seem to be the same company. The Polar Craft logo has a polar bear climbing around on the letter "P". Anybody know anything about this brand? They seemed quite sturdy for a riveted jon. I would prefer a welded if I can afford, and find, one.
Anyway, a new 16 footer with a modified V hull is $2.6k and a very simple yacht club trailer for it is $600. Package total (no motor): $3.2k. Does anyone know if this price sounds typical for this type of package? I am having a terrible time comparing prices online because they normally are not listed... and every jon boat dealer I can find is closer to Mississippi than Utah. I would much rather get a brand that I have heard of, but am having trouble finding a place to buy them. I would really like the Lowe 16 ft, mod V hull, and live well... but can't find where to get one.
Any one work at a boat shop or know of a good place to look at them in the SLC area? Anyone heard of Polar Craft?

are you looking for a flat bottom boat or a Modified V. It made a big differences in how it handles the water. Robertsons Marine on Main street had several in stock a month ago. I can't remember which dealer is carry the Lowe boat, maybe just start calling them till you find it, they were at the boat show so I know their around.
