Would you guys pay $16,000 for a 2006 Tuffy 1760 with a 70 horsepower Suzuki with around 400 hours on the motor?

Provided it's in good condition and has been taken care of, I'd say that's in the ballpark. That one is fully rigged with electronics too, correct?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I'm surprised it's still for sale, but you may have found a different one.

I sold my 07 with a 115 4stroke and terrova 80 with 199 hrs for $16k. But that was a great deal:)

That's a respectable deal if the rig is in nice shape. if it shows serious use, I'd offer less.

Which model 1760, and define 'good deal'. I know where there are two 2013 models, a tiller and a side console, that are very very good deals.

Nope. I know of two tillers and one side console, all Osprey models.

If you want a G series Tiller, you aren't going to find many unless you buy a new one. Offer the guy a price that would make you happy with the boat considering it's usage and condition. If you can settle on a price, great. If not, you'll need to keep looking or buy new.

I've kept my eye on this market since I first saw Lambeau's boat in 2006. The only G series tiller 1760's I have seen for sale were Lambeau's when it first sold, the one I bought this spring (which wasn't even actually listed on line - the owner contacted me), and now Lambeau's boat again.

I'm not saying they aren't out there if you look hard, but you're not going to find many.

I'd call a dealer for pricing on a new one if you are thinking about going that route. I'm guessing it would go into the 30's.

A 1760 Osprey tiller rigged with a 75 Merc 4 stroke with a stainless prop would run about $29 K with full polyflake, handrails, a bike seat, aluminum mags, brakes on the trailer, etc.

A dual console with a buck and a half, same appointments, would be in the upper-middle 30's.
