On Tuesday I am going to look at a used 1998 Fisher Dominator that I found on Craigslist. The seller says that it is a 16' with a 40hp Merc and is in excellent condition, trailer included. He wants $2500. I have never heard of Fisher Boats or this model and know nothing about them, other than that they are now owned by Tracker Boats (which I know is owned by BPS). What can you guys tell me about these boats? I know it depends on the condition, but could one of these boats be worth $2500? And what types of things should I be looking for when I go to take a look at the boat? Any advice or help would be appreciated as this would be my first boat purchase.

Fisher has been around for a while. As far as the hull is concerned, look for any kind of warping, and loose rivets(not sure if the hull is welded or rivits) Can you test drive it? Will he let you take it to a mechanic to test the motor? You can also ask for maintenance records. As far as the trailer check the tires for dry rot. If its equipped you want to test the livewell and bilge pumps and trolling motor. Being 12 years old it may need batteries (could have been replaced 2 maybe 3 times). The bulk of the price is in the motor. If the motor is in good shape it could be worth the $2500. That's up to you.

Fisher has been around a long while.  Selling aluminum bass boats long before Tracker ever did.  I have no idea about the quality of the boats being built after They became a division of Tracker boats.

Fisher is and always has been a quality product to my knowledge.  MY father has a three year old crappie boat and I love it.  As previously mentioned,  check it for obvious damage do a compression test on the motor.  If that all checks out offer him 2000 CASH and enjoy it.
