Will be for fishing a small lake (couple hundred acres). It comes with a 115HP. 2016 model. Any concerns fo things to look for? I don't need a speed demon and 45-50 MPH is more than enough. What would you consider fair market value in today's market? Thanks

Anything beyond normal wear and tear.
What is the overall co stop of the carpet and seats? That can set you back if you want to repair it. Also, are any electronics included. Depending on how crazy you get, this can cost you thousands. As far as cost. Considering fair shape with a trolling motor and some type of electronic, you are probably looking at 25-30k

Great shape. Carpet and seats literally look almost new. Only 50 hours on the motor. Electronics are just your standard Lawrence. 12v trolling which is the only downside.

Probably closer to 30K. Are they close that?

As long as checking out, ended up going with a couple year newer with garmin screens and an upgrade trolling motor with spot lock and newer engine for 25. Not the biggest boat or engine, but I'm hoping it will fit my needs well.

Is the motor a 4 stroke? I prob wouldn’t buy a boat that still has a 2 stroke on it esp now a days.

That will/should also affect the overall price. I wouldn’t pay more than $30k, but that boat in good shape, stock electronics, 4 stroke, and hopefully Ultrex will prob run upper $20s - low $30s. If you’re patient you can prob find one for upper $20s range.

Yeah. 4 stroke with spot lock trolling motor, radio, garmin electronics on bow and helm (no livescope transducer), lights, lithium batteries, and a few other minor upgrades. It is mid 20s which I think is overly fair.
