Need opinions: 2000 TRACKER Deep V 60hp

[Fastwin]

A good friend of mine is looking for his first boat and found this. I couldn't find much information on google other than a few users reporting loose rivets and taking on water. What are your thoughts on this boat and it's value? Here is the sellers description:


"This model originally came with a 40 hp merc 2 cycle outboard. I upgraded it to a 60 hp motor when I ordered it. It also has a fishfinder, electric trolling motor, live well, bait well, am/fm radio along with cassette player (that date it a little). It also has a boat cover and very nice bimini top with zip in side windows. As with all boats of this type it has a bilge pump also. There are two marine batteries (two years old), one for cranking the main motor and the other for the trolling motor. When running the main motor, the battery for the trolling motor is automatically charged."

Don't know much about those boats but I love my Tracker and have never had any problems in 3 yrs of HARD usage. By that I mean that I use it year round at least once a week. Never takes on water and never fails me in a tournament.

it looks small but if the style fits the way he wants to fish...

looks like a 16 or 18' to me. I think he wants it for fish-n-fun. Fishing in the morning, pull a tube in the afternoon.

I believe Hook1's boat is also fully welded not riveted.
