Reply With QuoteMy first thought is that it sounds underpowered. It's probably at least a 17 footer, right? Find out what it's rated for, I'm betting a 115. $1,700 to "service" sounds more like something was broke. Smells funny to me. You can check value on nada.

Please Advise/Help me on Boat Purchase
I've never bought a boat before other than my little 2 man plastic boat. Today I looked at a 1994 Nitro boat (Rick Clunn Edition, whatever that means). It was for sale on a car dealership lot listed for $5913 plus 7% sales tax plus $129.00 fee. I negotiated it down to $5800.00 including sales tax and fee. The salesman said that it had $1700.00 service done on it at marine shop. It has a 60 HP Mercury motor, foot controlled trolling motor, hummingbird fishfinder, cover and other acessories. The trailer and tires including spare appeared to be in great shape, no rust. There are no scratches on the boat. Although it does not matter, I think it is a good lucking boat. I called the guy that serviced it and he said it is a nice little boat. Do you guys think that this a good price for this boat

I just located the same boat for $4998. It is a 17 footer and has a 115 hp motor. The one you are talking about is underpowered. Run away. Go to Google and run 1994 Nitro Rick Clunn Edition and you should hit the one I was talking about.

Older Nitro's have lots of wood in them...not a good thing.

Gotta agree with the others on this. At your price point you can get a pretty nice aluminum boat unless you are dead set on glass.

If it were me, I'd pony up a few more $ and consider something like this.

Got to be very careful buying a used boat that you don't know! You don't want to buy someone else's troubles!

I wouldn't buy a glass boat. You can get a way better metal boat of that year for half that price. That's way to small of moter for that heavy boat. top speed is definitely under 30mph
Happy Hooken.....
