Opinions on Pro Crafts

You will seldom see me in this part of the forum but...
I know I am going to get punched in the face by the misses. But it never hurts to go look. So what is your take on Pro Craft boats? This one is right around the corner and I am going to have to go look at it.

Excellent boats. Its a shame they are no longer made. And for that price is definitely worth looking at.

That's a good looking boat. When you fish out of a Dyna Trak, you think most other boats are Rangers.

Just be sure and have the motor checked out good.

I can tell the boat monkey is all over your arse.

dang it garey, that rig is SWEET!!! if ya want, oyu can sotre it here at my house. lol.

I have a good friend that is a mutual friend with the guy, but i don't know the owner personally. But my buddy said the boat is as immaculate as it looks in the pictures and has been well taken care of. I might ask for him to get it checked and get the compression documented if I get serious with it though. Any other things I should request other than a test drive?

Bama, it might include one boat w/Bubba, do you think you can accommodate that too.

Lash, the monkey is buried like a tick seeing something like this within 5 miles from my house.

Bubba_Bruiser · 04-23-11, 08:45 AM

Figgures on far right are for like between people,person to person,its not low at 119 looks decent but no longer made so does effect resale,that 13,500 would be for a sharp boat.
Again no longer made and its the buyers world right now.
Make sure you float it and run it.Then offer what you feel is what you yourself would pay for it.Not what its worth,to someone else,any repairs ,tuneups subtract.
Its a single console,and led lights are like a white elephant just cant get your money back when invested,so while nice add nothing in general to resale value.Motor is out of warrenty and while a dealer would sell it higher also go over and give a warrenty.
How many hrs on that motor?Compression check?
He wants about 15 for it,key word wants.Kind of like buying an 03 used car,one takes your chances.

$15K is a decent price for an eight-year-old boat with a 225 HP that's in good condition. Definitely have the motor gone over. Didn't see what T/m it had, probably a 24v. Electronics, battery age will all effect price. Trailer condition? It looks like a tube trailer they rot from the inside.

bamabassman · 04-23-11, 03:46 PM

keys? what keys bubba? hahahahaha!!!
