question on a deal

bass kicker · 11-15-05, 08:44 PM

i got offered a 15 ft fiberglass boat with trolling motor no gas for 800 bucks (its a bass cat) and there is nothing wrong with it should i get it
and if so any one got a deal on a 100 -175 hp outboard motor

KH. · 11-15-05, 10:22 PM

dont get it let me have it, awsome deal, seems like a steal

lovinfishin9 · 11-15-05, 11:00 PM

seems like a good deal to me but im not real good on boat prices

This includes boat , gas motor , trailer in the price. Look around and price a new motor and the cost to have it installed.It isn't that great of a deal. http://www.nadaguides.com/Values/Val...del=1600016725

Yes that is a decent deal, but I think 100-175 hp motor is a little big for that boat.

it is a bass cat. a 90 would do well on it.. cats are a tad heavy but very sporty they conner like it was on rails...

You may have a hard time finding insurance with a motor larger than 90. But thats your choice.

fishinboy · 11-23-05, 06:29 PM

seems alright to me, just one question, why such a big motor? you dont need speed!!!! you need somthin that will catch fish, not scare em.

need speed for getting around on big lakes in tournaments

The bass cat is a superb built boat. Dont know what year boat you looking at but I can tell ya dont over power for several reasons. Insurance is just one of them. A overpowered 15ft boat is kinda like playing russian roulette. You might get away with it today but if you havent run high performance boats before sooner or later your gonna get the dry side wet. In other words a wreck is in your future. I have been running high performance bass boats for several years and also play with racing hulls and I gotta tell ya that overpowered short hulls are the most unforgiving hulls on the water. If you get the boat stick with a 90 Merc or Omc or whatever brand you like. You'll get the most contollable performance with that hp.

JORDAN54 · 12-30-05, 08:49 AM

I am with 1FastLaser that is to much power for that small of a boat. I have a 19ft Basscat with a 200hp and that gets that boat moving pretty good. 90 hp would be plenty for that boat. Sounds like a good deal though depending on the shape and the year.

bass kicker · 12-30-05, 09:31 PM

ya i just found out it can only hold a 115

What year is this hull. You may have found a pretty da@@ good deal depending on what year the hull and what kinda shape she is in. There are tons of 115's avaiable out there that you can get a some REAL good prices. If you want to pursue this give me a holler and I can get you some hard dollar prices on New engines with full warraties at prices you will be pleased with. Or if you really want to save some bucks I gotta few connections that I can contact and you get rebuilt units. Give me a holler ifn your interested.
