[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 445930, member: 22613"] The decking doesn't look like it's been done very well. Almost looks like it's slanted in the front like a ramp. That can be renovated with minimal expense though. As said, that's a solid boat and motor. Will not be super fast with a 9.9. Best I ever got out of my 1448 with a 9.8 Merc was 18 mph lightly loaded. The trailer looks nice too. With the axle mounted that far back it should be a piece of cake to back down the ramp. I tow a 1448 Alumacraft and a 25 Johnson, (~800lbs in current trim) with a 4 cylinder 2wd Ford Ranger. Pulls like it's not even back there, have never spun a tire on a ramp. That boat will be no problem at all with a Tacoma. I wouldn't consider 2000 to be a smoking deal but not unfair either. 15-1800 would be the sweet spot IMO. [/QUOTE]
