HELP: is this a good deal?

Tydings · 03-22-09, 03:43 PM

2007 nitro 640 never used.
includes:
merc 50hp 2stroke
12v 46lb motorguide
dash mounted lowrance (37x)?
swing away trailer
custom fit snap on acrilic cover.

12K is where the asking price has been brought to.

i am searching for a 16 to 17 foot nitro or triton, first boat, i have basic fishing needs and dont want to go crazy with the cost.

is this even the right engine. or should i ask for a 4stroke? maybe a 60hp?

any advice would be great! thank you.

i have a 16 ft fiberglass sunliner bass boat with a 70 and its just not fast enough for me i think you would rather be in the 115 to 150 range unless you dont care about the speed this is my first boat as well and i wish i would have went bigger

the max HP on this boat is 90, i am starting to think about the 90 optimax. i only plan on fishin casually, 1 tourny a year. mostly for relaxation and fun. i just dont want to look back and regret not upgrading.

that sounds like plenty of power then

how much more should i be lookin to spend to jump from that 50 to the 90 optimax. im almost to my budgets end. gotta be smart.

as a guess only you probaly lookin a about 30 to 35 mph with a fifty and that price will jump quickly

bet you would forget paying more sooner than wishing you had more power
