That 175 will have been run hard most of its hours, it's underpowered for a 22 ft glass hull.

Get a readout!! Still looks like a decent price if it checks out!That 175 will have been run hard most of its hours, it's underpowered for a 22 ft glass hull.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking thatI'm not really sure what this thread is getting at--maybe it should read --no decent boats at knock down give away bargains!!! Look at the price of an outboard today-add in all the taxes and fees-It is totally understandable why there are few boats available for less than 10K. There are project boats to be had for sure-but sometimes they will cost you more than a well looked after newer model. Case in point-guy repowers an older model boat Puts on power with extra warranty-power costs him 20k boat is a 2000- he is not going to sell that boat 2 years later for a knock down price. Be realistic-do your homework and hope to get a good boat at a fair price!! You sometimes get what you pay for!! Just sayin!
that is the problem with trying to sell my wellcraft i podded last year and put the 225 verado on, or do i try harder to part the boat out?I'm not really sure what this thread is getting at--maybe it should read --no decent boats at knock down give away bargains!!!

I agree with the above however i do feel that there is a shortage of certain type of boat. Any aluminum boat 20plus feet with an alaskan cab is pretty hard to find. I had to buy new for this very reason 9 years ago and if I was no get another one now I suspect buying new would be the only option however now things are different for I know exactly what I want and I don't think I would find it second hand.I'm not really sure what this thread is getting at--maybe it should read --no decent boats at knock down give away bargains!!!

Yes, I trolled with one for 10 years.Would that 50hp troll slow enough on that boat if not using a kicker?
