2000 Sea Pro SV2100CC for $16,500...Good Deal?

[Ranger R]

Can anyone tell me if Sea Pro had any problems with their boats prior to this years model? I am looking at a 2000 Sea Pro SV2100CC, with a Yamaha 150HP-2stroke engine with 14 hours on it. Asking price is $16,500. The boat has not been used much....Any news about this make and model will help. Thanks.<br /><br />Currently I have a Ranger Bass boat, but cannot afford a new Ranger bay boat...Just did not know about this brand????

Sea Pro's are good boats, I researched them extensively last year and almost bought a new one but ended up going used. <br /><br />The new ones have no wood in them whatsoever. Not sure about the 2000 model as far as that goes, but they have a good reputation and in my opinion are a good boat. <br /><br />If it's really got 14 hours on it over 5 years I'd have it checked over first. Lack of use kills more boat systems than over use.

After my first year with my Sea Pro, I am very happy. The bay was rough this year and I put my 180 CC to its limits. The only issue that you might want to check is the stainless rub rails...I think the stainless is a bit thin and I have some rust forming where is rubbed the dock. Also, the anchor compartment lid stays closed via a screw and plastic v shaped clip..that looks like an afterthought and it broke the 2nd week out. For the money, it is a boat that is perfect for the shallow waters and provides more protection than most bay boats with 2 foot waves. The 10 year warranty is good and they fixed all issues with no questions last week!

As you can see in my sig I have a 2003 2100cc SeaPro and well I love it. It is one of the driest riding boats I have fished and I have fished most of them. I gave 18K for this one last year and it was very lightly used by previous owner. Priced a new one with all the extras and goodies and it was gonna be 32k plus.

Got caught in the bays below Cocodrie, LA when a bit of weather rolled in. Had to run 3 to 3.5' rollers 3 miles across the bay back to the Houma Nav Channel and she did just fine. Wouldn't recommend heading out into water that rough but was nice to know that I had a boat under me to get us back to the calm waters of the marsh.

I would think $16,500 for that setup would be a fair asking price if it only has 14 hours on the whole rig.

Issues over last year have been general nit-picky things. Replaced fuel tank sending unit last month, Trolling motor plug socket meltdown due to corrosion last weekend, replacement had to be ordered as it is unique to SeaPro. Cleaned up socket for use until replacement comes in. Also replaced the rear white running light. But that is it nothing major and I have to say we have fished 1 or 2 weekends every month in the marsh here in South Louisiana over the last year. I don't think you would be disapointed in the 2100CC.

Where did you get the trolling motor plug? Mine melted too. Thanks
