right on, did you end up getting insurance on your boat. Is it necessary on these old boats? Anyone else think this is a good deal?

1986 Ranger 360V Bass fishing boat, with a 175 HP Mercury motor, front foot controlled trolling motor, 2 live wells, 6 storage compartments, 3 battery system, and two fish finders. Asking $3000. Is this a good starter boat? Is it worth the $3000 or should I offer something lower. Is the 360v a 17ft? Thanks for the help fellas!

haha ok. My search will continue!

A few more questions: How much would it cost to repair the transom? Where else can I find boats with no outboards? Will it be easy to hook up the livewell and what not? Its an old boat. Is the 1983 build a good one?

There is a 1983 ranger for sale in my area, and would like to turn this into a project. It is for sale at $1000. It says it has a weak transom. What does this mean? Also what kind of outboard can I put on it? How can i figure this out? And, is this worth doing? Im a college student on a real tight budget, so I don't have much to spend. There is also a 1989 Mercury 135 Blackmax (oil injected, V6) outboard, that im thinking about putting on it, is this possible? Also the guy said he would replace the powerhead because it is siezed. This is $400. Can this workout. I don't have much knowledge about boats. So sorry about the questions.

1995 Nitro 170 17' Bass Fishing boat w/125 mercury outboard The motor is a Mercury Tracker 125 pro series 2 stroke carbureted inline 4 that i was unable to get to turn over. The boat will include a clean title. Is this easy to get fixed if I purchase this? This a good deal? Thanks. No boat knowledge here.

d**n..well i guess ill look elsewhere...can i get a decent bass boat for 5000? Thats pretty much all i can afford

5000, trying to get it lower though..what do you think?

How do i go about asking him about that. He said he used it maybe 1-2x a month...and only had it for three years, so hes not the original owner.

Length: 17 ft. Engine: Evinrude Tracker XP 150 Im looking into buying my first bass boat, and am wondering if this is a good boat to start off with. If you guys could help me out that would be great. Is this a reliable boat?

I'm not sure man, I think they just hooked us up. I would contact the people running the tournament and ask for ideas. What school you representing? We're passing on the national championship this year due to the flw college fishing tourney on the delta being the same weekend. I'm from marin county/mill valley, go to university of oregon. U of Nevada...Nice, yea ive been emailing back and fourth with the guys running it...were gonna try to make it back to fish the delta...lol...im from Marin County, Terra Linda...you hit up the local lakes around there? phoenix, nicasio, alpine,kent?

Nice, did you guys offer them any money? or were they just nice guys and lent their boats to you guys? We would obviously pay for gas. btw, where in the Bay Area are you from, what school do you go to (Oregon)? Im from SF. Thanks bro.

Hey, to the U of Oregon guys: Do you guys have your own boat? Im trying to fish in the BoatU.S. Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship, but they don't provide boats like the FLW. If you don't have a boat, can you rent one or what? What re you guys doing if you dont have one?
