HELP: is this a good deal?
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.
