Looking to buy a used boat...Lotsa junk out there for lotsa money - I think I found a nice boat:<br /><br />97' Northwood 16' all decked out with 3 ped seats, trolling motor and yacht club trailor the boat is in minty condition.<br /><br />It has a 90HP 1987 Mercurury 2stroke on it. (The Boat is only rated for 60 HP).<br /><br />He is asking $ 7850.00 Canadian = $ 4900 US for the package.<br /><br />General comments on the value of the deal would be appreciated with specific comments on the following would be appreciated as well :<br /><br />Oversized motor on the boat.<br />Age of the motor. <br />Possible value of the motor. (maybe trade it in on something less powerful 40-50hp 4 stroke mayhaps).<br /><br />This would be my first purchase of a boat and I dont want to make a "big mistake"....<br /><br />One buddy say's "jump all over it" two others say avoid it because of the engine...<br /><br />What would you do ?
