Anyone know of any good deals out there right now on a boat for a first time buyer?

Not really wanting to spend over 5k. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have owned basstracker and they are great little fishing boats. Not sure what kind of shape its in, but you can pull them wth just about anything.

This is not my boat it's a friends but it's a great boat. It runs strong and is very clean. You wouldn't guess it was an 89 by the looks of it. Worth checking out for sure. PM me for pics and I'll email them to you if interested.

Yea I saw that one today.

Does anyone know a website to where you can look up how much a boat is worth or should be for sale? Like KBB.

I cant remember it....

nada.com has a section for boats. I'd get the ranger that was posted as opposed to the one in san antonio.

Here are the pics you requested. I know that $6000 is above your limit but he hasn't had many calls on the boat so if you like it make him an offer he may come down to your target price. This boat looks and runs great and has been taken care of and garage kept. The Cajun may be a great boat it is hard to say without seeing in person. But one thing to consider is it's harder to find parts for a boat if the company that made it is no longer in business. Just a thought. Good luck with your search.

Those ole Rangers are bullet proof too! Great looking boat at a decent price.
