I am looking into buying a 1989 Fisher V-hull. It has a working 1992 Evinrude 9.9 hp and trolling motor. It also has live well and 3 seats. All lights on boat and trailer work. It is riveted but has been welded in the front to fix a slow leak.

It is going for $1700. Is that overpriced? Does anyone know anything about models around that year or anything about the quality of fisher boats in general?

I currently have a 14ft gheenoe canoe with a 8hp motor (10hp and 675lb capacity.) How would the fisher compare to the canoe? I definitely don't want to buy a boat with lower capacity. Is it even worth buying it? The canoe is great and stable with 3 people on it. My only problem with it is person in the front gets soaked because its sides are so low.

Thanks for the help!

Re: Fisher Boat

I think Fisher had a decent reputation before they were bought out. An 89 model should have a coast guard capacity tag. That information is duplicated on some state titles or registration. My Fisher 1448 john is rated for over 800 pounds of people and gear and a 25hp outboard.

Prices vary so widely across the country that my opinion of price is worthless but that price is in line with what people are asking around here. I suggest you go to nada.com to get a feel for prices in your area. You will need to do the motor, trailer and boat separately. Here you can expect to pay more than what nada says.
