my first boat was a 86 Ranger with a 150hp for $4500. i updated the electronics. it is a great boat. a web site that i find interesting in
www.crankyape.com they sell repo boats and rv, atv ect. i have no relation with them and have not purchased anything from them. they had a new repo 2007 from a dealer that had no motor very cheap,
again be careful but there are tons of used boats out there. if you go to a dealer be prepaired to walk away.
you will get the best deal and can always come back. you will get a better deal from a private party
