Why buy a boat that old when you can get 1 alot newer in that same price Range?
I bought a 97 Ranger with a 130hp on it in 02 for $6,900 real nice boat.In 04 i sold it for $7,000.For the money you want to spend you can find a nice early 90es model.
Why not do that?
Thats $3,000 more than $4,000 first off - I really don't have $4,000 to spend, but I want a boat to fish/ski out of. Your'97 Ranger - was it an 18' boat ?You neverput in money into it ?If this boat had a 150 Johnson it'd be a no brainer to buy it
