Looking for a boat that will weigh in at or below 2000lbs launch ready. I am limited to that for safe towing. This will be my first boat and Im planning to have it for 3 or 4 years, then upgrade. That said, I found a KW 1520 locally. It is advertised as a 1993, but I cannot find that year on the NADA site. Has a 2003 40hp Yamaha motor. Seems most have at least 50hp.
They are asking 5,900, but I can probably get them down a bit. But, I would like to know what this boat would be worth. No bottom paint, galvanized trailer, etc. Where should I walk away from it at?
Is it reasonable to assume this entire rig will be less than 2,000lbs launch ready?
Would really like a KW 1720, but I think that will exceed by tow rating and Im not ready to get a new vehicle yet.
I am looking for any and all opinions about this boat, weight of it, value, comparison with 1720, etc. Will just be me and wife and dog.
