up here its worthless as a ocean boat, but if you have a nice big lake for tubing and sking throw a 75 on there have a nice little skier?

It would be a great first boat for a teenager that you wanted to start out right going into adulthood.

As for price? *$400 now, $1000 fixed up?

I dunno.

You'd be hard pressed to find another boat with a 40hp for equivalent price. I agree with RB's assessment ;)

If thats a Niagra I'm pretty sure it has fiberglass stringers. I would think its worth at least $750 how she sits and probably not a big money maker fixed up, maybe $1200-$1500 tops.

Forget that, take that motor and put it on a J-16 carlolina skiff! Then sell the boat to recover some $$.

:)

Well, that's what I'd do ::)

Well I think I know were that boat will be in the near future. *The Skool's Out Boat Institute.

The trailer's worth that.

That little boat would look right with outriggers and a tuna tower. I'm sure Skools is planning on twin 225's too. :D
