Good buddy of mine bought a really nice 2005 Ranger last year for 15k. Nothing wrong with it except a little wear in the carpet, which is expected. Boat runs great, and looks brand new.
There are deals out there to be had, you just have to look and be patient. Ignore those who say otherwise.

When you see a ad that says “new power head” is that a signal to stay away from this boat???

Don't forget to inspect trailers! Skeeter ez-loader trailers are sketchy. Check for uneven tire wear and rust.

OP, buy from an old guy that lives on a lake. There's tons of old guys that have nice boats that live on a lake and either are selling because they never use it or to just get a new boat every 5-10 years. They may fish a lot or a little, but never put many hours on a boat.
You don't want a flat bill guy that is 35-50 and lives in the city. Likely be fine, but an old guy 60+ that lives on a lake will likely baby that boat.

All good advice so far. I'll also add check the bottom of the hull for blisters. Especially where the boat rides on the trailer bunks. The resin the EPA mandated has caused a lot of problems with this. And even though most all boats have a composite transom it's still a good idea to always check that as well. If you're worried about the outboard request that you can take it to a mechanic to have it checked out.

In that age range the trailer can be a hidden problem waiting to happen. Check out transom, compression, lower unit oil, axles and overall condition. Absolutely insist on a water test. I almost was about to buy a boat several years ago on a water test when the engine shut down. Opps, no sale on that one
