I am considering buying a used 03 Fisher 16' Proavenger aluminum walkthrough fishing board from a dealer in Wisconsin. It has an 03 Tracker by Mercury Marine 50hp outboard on it. What I seem to find on the internet is this is a standard Mercury (whatever that means) sold for Tracker boats ... not sure why such a new boat has a motor change on it but the dealer would give a 30 day warranty on it.
I have used plenty of family boards and resort fishing boats (with 10 hp OBs) and am fairly mechanicly adept but have never owned a boat. Does anyone on this forum have comments on this motor? I have heard certain models of motors with -xxx suffixes are known lemons so I am looking for any opinions. Again, just looking for a basic fishing boat for me and sometimes wife or grown kids to use in "pre retirement". Thanks, Dave in Minnesota
