I don't know much about a boat that is that old but $2,000 seems real real high. I would take it to a local boat dealer/mechanic and see what he says about the motor. I would have him do a compression check and make sure the Trolling motor works. Then see what price he thinks it is worth. You may want to check out www.bassboatcentral.com and see what they say. If he is willing to spend $2,000 I think you can find a little better deal just IMHO. Ryan
