[QUOTE]Whoolligan - 8/13/2007  2:11 PM

So, I stopped and looked at a boat today.  1990 Lund 1600 Stinger, 45hp Mariner overhead carb.  If I recall correctly, that was the motor of choice for walleye backtrollers for the longest time, was it not?
Anyhow, not a whole lot of bells and whistles to this thing, which is kinda what I am looking for, wired front and rear locater/flasher and it actually has a gps/finder with it.
My concern, however, is the prop and skeg are shot, and there is a considerable amount of denting/damage to the hull itself.  The guy wants a lot more for the boat than it is really worth..  It is in pretty sad shape to pay that.  I did have a chance to fire the motor, and it appeared that it was in very good working order.
So, what would YOU guys say would be a fair price on the boat.  I would realistically value it at under $2, but don't have a judge to go by since I almost never see them around here.
With that said, it really is almost perfect as far as what I have been looking for.[/QUOTE]
