So I have some money saved up that I planned on dropping on a new engine for my boat. Right now I have an 89 Sears 14'. Its a little rough but it gets me on the water. It has a 57 johnson 5hp on it now and I was going to upgrade to a 2013 Mercury 15hp 4-stroke. Now here is the dilemma. A nice boat just popped up on craigslist for about the same price as the new engine i want. Its is a 1440 Lowe Rover, with a 15 HP Evinrude. Now this would be a big upgrade for me as far as the boat, trailer, about the same on the trolling motor except mine is more powerful but older and tiller, and has good electrical run already. It looks like he has taken great care of it but I am just worried about unforeseen issues, especially with the engine. Of course if i get the boat I can sell mine so it will end up being cheaper, what would you guys do? I have attached pictures of my boat and the one for sale
