Hi wanted to get your take on a potential deal I am considering. Just looked at a 1998 Skeeter 17ft aluminum bass boat with a 1998 Yamaha 40 hp. Boat is in fair to good condition for the year. Hull looks good, carpet a bit faded with a few stains, no holes in carpet. Yamaha outboard is in pristine condition. I would probably replace finders and trolling motor with the units on my current boat. Skeeter Trailer in good shape. If I pursue it my offer price would be around $3900.00. I've been thinking that perhaps aluminum might be a better bet given my fishing, towing and storage situation. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

I checkes with NADA, that boat is about $2,500 Below low book Price. I would say it is a good deal.

Make sure that when you check the NADA guide that you note that the price is for the boat only.  You have to go elsewhere on the site for the price of the motor.

Sounds good to me.
