[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 389167, member: 7376"] How good are you at working on boat motors? How good are you at working on the hull? That should help a little to make a good decision. Personally speaking, motors are my thing and I can do what's needed on a hull but I'm nowhere near a hull expert. So I prefer a newer, more up-to-date hull with an older motor (2000 model 25 hp/2012 model boat). But the motor only has 40 hours on it. Was brand new when I got it in 2010, guy bought it and it sat...he couldn't get it to start because gas plugged up the choke/primer circuit in the carb. Took me a while to find the problem, but I found and fixed it and since then it's been awesome. The motor paid me $100. I bought the boat/motor/trailer from the guy for $1500 + $100 in fuel to go get it, then sold the boat and trailer for $1700 and kept the motor. [/QUOTE]
