Your price range is exactly where I was in 2010 when I purchased my first real Musky boat.
And after spending lots of time reading what other Musky guys had to say and fishing out of a fair number of different boats--I was set on waiting it out for a nice Ranger 690 from 1996-1999--
Talked to at least 5 guys who had them for sale--could not get one down to 15K and these boats all had 600+ hour on old late 90s motors--one had 900 hours---no one I talked to would go below 18K.
Then I ran into almost by accident a 2004 Tuffy Osprey 1760 with Merc optimax 150 and 9.9 four stroke kicker with electronics, like new condition, clean, shiny boat for 15K. Big motor only had 100 hours on it.
A much better deal than the Ranger's I was looking at. I did not want to buy an 18K boat that was 15+ years old and have to spend another 13-14 K to repower in a season or two.
Check out the used Tuffy's--you can find a great one in your price range for sure.
They are made for big water and for Musky fishing. | |
