I need some advice about pricing. I have found a 2000 Alumacraft all welded 1546 Waterfowler with EZ Loader trailer that I was prepared to buy but the dealer won't deal. The boat is 10 years old and has no dents or dings. The paint is worn and there area few holes drilled in the gunwales for a blind attachment but otherwise it is pretty good. It has nav lights, interior lights already wired and a third switch for a bilge. The dealer will sell to me (including a needed spare for the trailer) for $2100 cash. The dealer told me that a 25hp 4-stroke is too heavy and instead recommended a 20hp. I would rather get a 25hp 2-stroke. He has found a Yamaha w/electric start for $3850. I can get the same motor through Ed's Marine Superstore https://www.edsmarinesuperstore.com/yamaha.htm for $2800 + shipping. I have never ordered anything so expensive over the internet and never dealt with Ed's before. There is something to be said for buying local - if for no other reason than having someone's face to get into if things go wrong - but is it worth $1000? That's a lot of dough for the privilege of going toe-to-toe if I needed to. I would really appreciate some input about both the boat and motor question. The boat really is nice but still seems a bit high for a 10 year-old boat and trailer. I was a little surprised the dealer would be so rigid about the price. Weigh in please...
