2000 Lund Angler SS (1650)

[dae06]

I am looking at the above boat with a 2000 Evinrude Ficht RAM injection, 75 hp, 2-stroke motor (~150 hours) and a 2000 Spartan Trailer. This has a single console. I am having a very difficult time finding any comparable boats to see if the pricing is right. The boat comes with a 36# Minn Kota auto pilot bow mount trolling motor, Lund cover and 4 seats. It is a clean boat.

Any idea on a good price for this boat. He is asking $8,000.00.

Sonds like a good deal. We just paid twice that for a new 1625 rebel with a 40 merc tiller. I would call a dealer to see what they say.

My buddy has the same boat but a 90 yammy on it, it's a great boat, i think 8 g's sounds about right. i'd buy it. but you always try to get em down, unless their very firm on the price.

That's good to hear. I am testing it on the water this morning. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks

Offer $7400 and go from there if its clean and that Ficht runs good. If it has any issues whatsover walk away. Some of them Fichts were nothing but troubles.

I tried the boat out yesterday, ran very nice. Seemed like a solid boat. One strange thing happened though:

I had is at top speed to test it out, I then slowed down to almost an idle speed 3-5 MPH. I then turned to my wife to ask her if she wanted to drive it and all of a sudden the outboard turn as far as it can go to the right. Even though we were going pretty slow, it suprised us and I had to crank the wheel back to center.

I have never had this happen to me before. Is there some kind of adjustment or friction control to keep this from happening?

Also, I do think we want a little bit bigger boat. maybe the 18' range. It will be used by my wife and I and our two kids (age 17 and 19). It seemed just a bit too small.

If all 4 are going to be in the boat at the same time a lot, I would suggest an 18 footer.

Yep, I'm thinking the same thing.
