Ok so here is my background info for you:

 

• I am 16 and fish with my grandfather a lot.
• Last winter we split the cost of a 14' vhull.
• It has two electric motors and a casting deck.
• I have invested about $2000 into the boat. 
• We usually fish small electric lakes
• Wanting to get out on bigger water
• Have a big trip in a few weeks
• 2 people in the boat is tough, especially for tow people standing and for my grandfather
• We are thinking of repairing the boat and selling it
• looking for a small bass boat

 

I am really impressed by some of the Bass Trackers that I have seen. That kind of a boat is what we are looking for. Big enough to fish three at most in calmer waters, and 1 or 2 in rougher water. I would like both an outboard and bow mount, because I live on an electric only lake, but do have access to outboard lakes. Not really sure how many HP I want, likely fine with any. I think my budget will be around $3000 total. I am planning to sell my current boat for around $2000.

 

Here are the boas I'm looking at:

thats what i was thinking!

The 2012 is a scam

That '87 is old but looks extremely well taken care of, and the motor looks like someone took care of it. 

The 12 may be to good to be true, but I would have a mechanic check out the OB.  A 2k boat could turn into a 12k boat over night

how much would it cost to have a mechanic inspect the outboard?
