I don't like the boat, so I wouldn't. If you like the boat and can test it out before you buy, not bad at all.

What horsepower is the motor? Also where are you located? Boat prices vary widely across the continent.

I'm guessing that motor is in the 15-25hp range??? Need more information. $1750 sounds a little high but it definitely depends on what part of the country/world you are in, the horsepower of the motor, and what is included with the purchase. I saw what looked like a tiller-style trolling motor in the boat. Is that included? Trailer as well?

Maintenance records also help pump up the value of the package.
