2000 Pro Crappie 175

[jdubs45]

I am looking into a 2000 Pro Crappie 175. I was wondering if anyone had so good and bad things to say about this boat. It has a 75 2 stoke mercury on it for just under 6 k. It seemed like a fair price, but i have only seen pictures of the boat and it is 6 hours away. I don't want to take a drive to see it unless i am sure i will be coming home with it. Thanks for the input.

They are nice looking boats. Set up pretty well for crappie fishing. I own a Tracker but not that model. But I have drooled over that boat a few times in the showroom. With a 75 horse motor it's not underpowered. If the boats in good shape it's worth the drive. Good luck! If you buy it post pics.

I have a 2002 175 bass tracker witha 75 2 stroke and love it. I paid 6500 for it. It was very clean. Its basically the same boat your looking at. It runs 38 to 40 mph. on GPS which is plent fast for me. Go pick it up. If the guy wants 6 I bet he'll take 5500.

Dubs ... NADA says boat/motor are worth around $4K (not including trailer & accessories). I think I'd add in the cost of gas for a 12hr trip, before I'd consider it a "fair price".

I'd also be very suspicious of it, if it happens to be a Craigslist boat.

Personally, I think I'd look around a little closer to home. You might even put a post on the Personal Classifieds forum ... look over the current boats for sale there ... and/or put a WTB post in the Illinois State Forum, and see if anything is to your liking that's closer to you.

I know all about "waiting" for the right boat to come along ... I passed up or missed out on 3 different very nice rigs that were advertised in the Classifieds Forum. Then along comes a lifelong friend, who up and sells me his rig for around that same price range (6K). You can see that boat in the "Show off your boats" thread, at the top of this page ... it's the first post in that thread. Jaws drop when people ask me about it, and I tell them it's a 1999 model Rofl

I owned one of those and the only thing I did not like was that there was not enough storage in the boat.

I just got off the phone with the guy and he dropped the price from 5750 to 5k even. Even better!!! I am still open to look at any other deal that might come along.

I have a 2001 Pro Crappie Tracker bought it last spring for $4800. Its got a 40 Horse on it
Pros - Trailers great,runs great, mechanically great, also like the depth of inside the boat and front deck
Cons- Lack of storage, and the narrow front end not a lot of room to wrestle around with trolling motor pedal
Overall I feel I got a good deal for my money

something to ask is where was the boat stored, inside or out, and back then, wood was used in the transom and floors. If the boat was stored inside all the time, should be ok,, but if stored outside with no cover, the floors/transom may be in question. You would have to inspect it closely, get in the boat and bounce on the floor, etc., and with a 75 it should run great. I have a PT175 w/ a 60 2stroke, and it runs in the mid 30's. Solid boats if cared for.
