Hey my name is Spencer. I'm new to the forum. I have been fishing from the bank and a kayak. I sold my kayak not to long ago to purchase a bass boat. I found this one on Craigslist. What do y'all think? What should I look for?

Thanks guys and tight lines

looks ok. price is a bit high imo. with a boat that old you should check everything, including having a marine mechanic check the motor.

Ya I was planning on it. What's the best way to check a transom?

With  the motor trimmed up lift up and press down on the motor at the lower unit by the gear case and check to see if there is any play in the transome and cracks at the corners. Also check if there is play on the mounting bolts. Check for brown stains or even liquid coming from the mounting bolts.

Thanks for all the info guys.

Well I ended up blowing the budget and buying a 2008 xpress SUV 16

Sv 16

Congratulations. Hope it works well for you

Thanks man
