i havent seen the boat, but i think its worth spending $600, even is the boat needs some work its still a bargain.

sounds like a freakin' steal!
honestly, if it was me who was offered that deal, i'd jump on it.

Depending on the motors year, the 25hp is worth all of that and like I said, depending, maybe even more!

last time i talk to this guys he said at least 6 people can sit on the boat.i am wondering what type of boat is this.Can some1 imagine.

 

[Bvillefish2]

Did he say if there was anything wrong with it at all? Because it's a steel! I will do some research on google and i will have an attachment on what i wthink it might look like. Is that what your asking or? lol

This is all I could imagine what it looks like! Maybe not in that good of condition considering the price. But you say it was used last summer? Does it come with a trailer?

So what's the scoop on that boat you wanted to buy? Did you get it? :shock:

 

[Bigfisherman]

$600 is a steal! I looked for 9 months couldn't find anything decent & well priced so I bought new 2 months ago just called my boat vendor and they are having production issues so it will be delayed another 2 weeks!!! arrrgh..

Down riggers.. Yeah. You should be able to.
Fish finder. Im partial to the humminbird ones.
Tolling motor. Yes, but I would spring for a 30 lb thrust Minn-kota or similar. A front mount troll wont work for you in this case. (I also reccomend a separate 12v deep cycle battery)

Not a bad little boat I must say. If you need help with that Johnson (which is an evinrude) just go to http://www.iboats.com/forums/ Pretty good folks over there, but mostly american.

Other things you may want is you PCL (Pleasure craft liscense), safety kit.
Beyond the regulations I also carry:
2-5 pound fire extinguisher.
50M boyant line
A ration pack or 2.
Bottled water.
Spare Keys attached to a floatie.
First aid kit
Spare set of plugs, and a lenght of air line tubing.
Earmuffs for flushing the motor.
Spare prop, crown nut and cotter pin.
HAM radio (ok, its overkill, but...)

Cheers!

Wow, nice deal, sweet...good luck with your new boat, and remember play safe!

 

[MikeyMikey]

Never nice...

Now... all the accessories for boats & fishing will probably cost double that of your boat price

Well... enjoy!
