As the title says, looking for a aluminum square stern canoe. 16-17 ft ideally. Doesn't need to be pretty.

They pop up all the time on Craigslist. Make sure that the boat has a title if you intend to attach a motor and use on a public waterway. Its a real pain to register a boat, motor, or trailer without a title. Good luck!

Gavin is right.  They usually have a high listing.  Keep your eyes open, and have cash ready, you can do well. I have a used deep cycle battery if you need one. 

Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me)

I bought a used trailer without a title to haul my kayaks and I just registered it as a homemade trailer and it was easy peasy.  All I had to do was get it inspected.

trailers are easy as many are homemade.... boats.... big deal.

The licensing and registering of canoe/trolling motor rigs is better off ignored IMO.  The places where you are using it is typically not the type places where the Water Patrol hangs out, and I don't think Conservation agents enforce vehicular issues unless a specific type of vehicle is prohibited where you are using it.  

If you're on a city lake or something then you might wanna try to license it, otherwise it isn't worth the headache or the cost.  Very few canoes come with titles, and getting a title assigned to one is a major pia.

I'm probably jinxing myself but I've had a Pond Prowler for years and never got it licensed.  I could since I bought it new.  I've never had anyone even give it a second look unless I was fishing where it was questionable that I should be there.:)

Those places didn't specifically "say" I couldn't fish there because they probably thought nobody would.  I just kick a little dirt and apologize while I load up and flee the scene.

Not always the case.....  You would think that you could use a small layout boat duck hunting with a trolling motor or other motor and hunt a conservation area flooded cornfield and not be in any trouble, but unfortunately, sometime water patrol can and will patrol those areas.  I think that is kind of crazy for a flooded field, but it is what it is.  For example, I know Four Rivers has had some people getting ticketed for not registering their boat and motor.  The odds may be that you won't have an issue, but it is possible.
