Well I woke up this morning planning on driving 2hrs to Jackson TN to look at an 70s model 16x42 bass boat for $1500. I happened to check craigslist and I see an ad just posted for a Basstracker Panfish 16 with a 2002 Mercury 40hp motor for 2k. Boat and trailer turned out to be a 1994 model after looking at the date on the trailer and paperwork. After talking to the guy he is an older gentleman who is helping his friend sell a boat that was used by his father before he passed away last year. He had the receipt where the motor was put on new to the tune of 4k as well as all the manuals to the motor/boat/troller. That said he knows next to nothing about boats and it hasn't been registered in 10 years so getting it wet or even starting the motor in a tank was out of the question. He did say he thought the boat had been run in the last year. The gas is still hooked up so I assume I will get the clean carbs at least. We settled on $1800, did up a bill of sale (only thing needed in TN according to the county court clerk I talked to) and away I went. I have to admit. I am excited and think that the boat was well worth the money even without hearing the motor. Here are some pics as I bought it. Needs to be cleaned up bad.
Is the spot at the front that is open supposed to be a spot for a small cooler?
