Need advice on bass boat

Featured Replies

Hey yall so I'm looking at a 2000 triton tr-17 with a 115 on it. Trolling motor is an older evinrude but still is in great condition. Has 2 Lowrance HDS fish finders with the gps. I don't think any down scan or anything. They are older models. Motor is a Johnson. Has a powerpole, onbourd charger, livewell ect.  Carpet is clean. It has a few scratches here and there on the fiberglass. What do you guys think it's roughly worth?

Do you know how many hours the motor has on it? Has it had a compression test recently? Have you heard it start up?

Not sure about hrs he said he got it from anglers choice (well respected boat dealership near me) he is 2nd owner. He did crank it up sounded good. Says it has good compression but I don't have a tester. He is going to let me do a water test Saturday. Just wondering if you could give me an idea of its worth. 

He said since he has had it probably only 80 hrs.

Hello Jacob, did the owner say which shop has done the work on the boat as they may have done a compression test and know the hours on the motor.  Does the owner have the service records to give you an idea when the last tune up was conducted and what exactly was done.  What's the condition of the trailer, tires, and most importantly the wheel hubs.  And to answer your original question on what the boat's worth, NADA guide or Kelly's Bluebook may be helpful.  JB
