I am 75, have owned 4 boats.2 aluminum, 2 fiberglass. Purchased 2 new, 2 used with less than 20 hrs on engine. Sold all to the first person to look. The last being a skeeter ZX225 with 120 hrs on engine. I live in Waco and the person that bought it drove up from laredo, Tx bought it . All I am saying most people like me keep their boats in good shape. I wouldn't hesitate in buying a used boat. Good luck

I just want something tournament ready. And don't want to have to sink any money up front in. Preferably low hours,single owner, garage kept. 18-20 ft tandem axle trailer, with swing away hitch. Blue. Very good condition trolling motor at least an 80lb thrust, minimum 150hp motor I will tell you this, coming from a guy that currently has an 18' boat, if you plan to hold on to this boat for any length of time, as well as plan to fish Trails & BB Tournaments, i wouldn't even consider an 18' boat, most of your trails and BB tournaments start in January and run thru the spring, your larger lakes can get funky quick when a cold front blows in, and an 18' boat will kick your butt!
