Ok guys, I have a question. I have the chance to buy a 2000 model Bass Tracker 16 ft. with a 25 hp with tilt and trim. It has a trolling motor not sure what kind. The boat is in decent shape, it has the 25 hp with a 9.9 sticker so that is good for me. It could use some TLC but is a sound boat. My buddy has it, wants 3000$ for it, and he will let me make payments on it, and he dont really care how quick I pay him. So is that a decent deal, let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance for any and all comments. Matt

you can go to the nada website and find the value of the boat.

Here is the site...it will take you to the 2000 tracker line.

Then you will know the fair market value.

 

Then you will just have to determine if the boat meets your needs for a fishing boat.

Thanks a lot man I really appreciate it.

NADA will give you a good idea, but also look at the used boat sites for similar boats. People sell boats for different reasons and it's possible you may be able to find a better deal or a boat better suited to your needs.

I have almost the identical boat, a couple years older and a foot longer. Thats exactly what I paid for mine but it was in immaculate condition for its age.

 

Id say have at it if he has taken care of the motor. Youre not going anywhere in a hurry I hope because I think I can hit about 20 on a good day. 25 maybe with me and nothing in the livewell. Never checked it yet but I know its not fast.

that seems to be about what that type of boat with15hp-25hp motor is going for in my area
