I work on them for a living so I know all too well.

It's a Merc 175, has great compression but a lot of other issues that needed corrected...mostly minor. Interior is three years old and boat is in great shape. Brain shut down when I saw it, for 3k...just hooked up and dragged it home :0)
True about faster, chopper should be here next week...you know "hole in the water into which I pour money."

I would think it is or was a good deal. What hp is the motor?
The only problem is there always seams to be something else you need for the boat to go just a little faster.

Sorry for the misunderstanding...was really late at night when I posted
The boat is mine now...picked it up two weeks ago and have been working on it ever since.
Have 3k into the boat and $1500 into the engine.
Was just curious what the experts thought
I am getting a little ahead of myself...first run on Sunday

good price as long as it is solid
I see a Vasserett just listed in mpls for 8k

Are you looking to trade a merc + $1,500 for this? Nice looking boat.

Crap, my point...please tell my wife it was a good deal :0)
