How much would you give for this boat? Motor runs good compression is perfect everything works just needs new carpet. It's a 2005 bass tracker pt175 with a 50hp mercury all electronics and trolling motor are stock. It won't let me post picture but the hull is in good shape with minor scratches 

Assuming the seats are good, I think 5-6k would be fair. I saw a couple this summer in my area in that price range.

@12poundbass hit the nail on the head

I know I'm basically stealing it a $2800 from a family friend should be picking it up sometime this week 

Nice! Wish I could get that lucky. I'm in the market for a pt175 also, haven't found a steal like that though. 

I have a 2005 Bass Tracker pt 175 with the 50hp 2 stroke.  the same boat.  i paid 6500 for it a few years ago (and i thought that was a steal.) ive just finished a complete overhaul of it .  I replaced the flotation foam, the wood decking , and put new carpet in. I can tell you this. pay someone to do the carpet for you.  trust me , im going to post a youtube video of the slideshow of the whole project (took me almost a year) soon. 

Checked out a 2004 Bass tracker with a 60 hp.Merc 4 stroke in good condition but passed on it as he wanted over 8 K. Wanted a nice practice boat. Thought that was a tad high especially for a motor that has been setting around for over a year with  ethanol / water in it. I would have paid 5K that would have been a fair price in my estimation.

Take the time to book it out with NADA guides.
