I am looking at buying a 1995 Pro Gator 18ft with 115 mariner thats at a dealer its priced at 6250 but the dealer says its a consignment deal and the guy is really wanting it gone and will take 5000 if offered. Do yall think this is a good deal I wish I could post a pice but its in good condition (looks like) from the pictures I will see in person tommorrow, I know its hard to tell from just a post but what do you guys think.

Thanks
-Jesse

If you are close to Denton take it to Mike at north Texas Fiberglass and let him look it over.

The price sounds good. Pro Gator is a good boat. I agree with David Lee. You need to have it checked out.

It would be nice if you could have the compression checked, Lowerunit and such. Maybe dyno tested.

And of course, a lake run is always nice.

Impossible to guess without reliable info on condition of the motor.

If the motor has 'issues', you may end up needing to add anywhere from $2,500 - $12,500 more to your investment......depends.

not just the motor you need to worry about. have a reputable shop check it thoroughly!

progator is a tough boat so your only question is , is the motor good , have someone check it out and be shure to do a leak down test on the powerhead
