Boat choices

[Rip Runner]

Scout would be my first choice, but agree with all others that the price on both is too high. You can get a 22-23 foot boat of the same vintage with better electronics etc... for that money.

If he's looking to pay in the 15-16K range he should look at restored 23 SeaCrafts with a newer single outboard on a bracket. You can get a real nice one for low 20's with updated electronics etc...

There are too many good boats out there to pay $16k for a 1999 Proline with a carb 150 that's for sure.

We have looked at a lot of boats, and there is alot of crap out there for sure, but we Nada the boat, motor, and with the trailer the guy is only about 1500. high. That said this boat is well taken care of, and my buddy made an offer today on the Scout and it was accepted. I have a 96, 2 stroke Johnson, and i know that a well taken care of 2 stroke will last a long time.

Thanks for the input.
