After looking and pricing so many boat packages that it was starting to become confusing to me, I agreed to purchase a boat tonight.
I had just about made up my mind to give up the search and go to A K McCallum on Saturday and buy a new 1448MV boat and trailer. I gave the local Craigslist a final check last night before going to bed, and something caught my eye. It had just been listed and sounded like something I may be interested in. I called the seller first thing this morning for some more info, and went to look at it tonight. I was pleasently suprised with what I found. After looking and talking for a while, we agreed on a price and I'll pick it up on Saturday.
Oh, what did I buy? A 2005 Triton 1446 Crappie boat, Triton trailer, with a 15hp Merc 4-stroke electric start motor.
The outfit was purchased new in 2008 (dealer leftover stock). I has had less than 4 tanks of fuel (3.5 gallon tanks) ran thru it. It has always been stored inside and looks brand new. The previous owner has just put a new Minn Kota trolling motor and fish finder on it, serviced the engine, and purchased a boat cover for it. I got it for $4000. I feel like that is a very good price considering the outfits condition.
I'll post some pics when I get it home.
