Depends on whether you want the boat, or are looking to pick up a deal for resale. I'd look up the book value of the boat/trailer/motor and bid a K or 2 below low retail. The ad says it's a glass boat, but it looks like an aluminum. My wild hairy guess would have the whole package booking for around 8K low retail, but that's neither here nor there. Step one would be to take ride and look at it.

You can get a book value for it at

Jim,

I'm a little concerned about an 18 and half feet boat that has a 60 hp motor. Unless that boat is very light, you won't have much power. If it is that light, it won't handle rough water very well, which will relegate you to smaller bodies of water or only on calm days.

Just my thoughts, which is what I think you asked for.... sort of anyway..LOL

If you do want it though, good luck.

I personally wouldn't give a dime more than $6000. But that's just me. Somebody else might see alot more value in this boat.

Jim,

That is a aluminum boat it said so in the ad probably worth around 4500.00.I had an 01 Monark aluminum boat with a 90 hp Mercury loaded up bass boat I sold it for 6500.00 hope this helps.

I wouldn't give more than 3,000 to 4,000...

Whatever the engine and trailer only is worth, without those a boat is just a planting pot mostly, don't pay more than that. MO :)

Thanks Guys.. I was curious.. I will have to think about it.
I was looking for something to fish medium to large lakes.. I used to fish Cumberland in a 14 foot jon and 10Hp motor.. even when it got windy.. but that was back in my young and dumb phase..
