buying new boat question
I am looking to purchase a boat from a friend of a friend. It is a 2004
tracker 175 but I want to have it looked at by a dealer first. How much should I have to pay to have it looked at?

You could expect to pay at least 1 hour worth of service i'm sure but with a
newer boat like that doesn't it have factory warranty left on it? Allen 911 Bass Anglers Bucks County PA

Yes it does but I heard the guy was rough on the boat so I want to have it
looked at before purchasing. I tried finding warranty information on the PT 175 but couldn't find any detail. "Chief13amc" wrote in message ...

One to two hours shop time at whatevcr their shop rate is. Make sure you
ask them what they will actually check for you. If you decided to buy it you might go ahead and have them do an annual serivce and put in a new water pump. -- ** FREE Fishing Lures ** Weekly drawing ** Public Fishing and Boating Forums ** www.YumaBassMan.com "Pat_RI" wrote in message news  ARed.12165$EZ.9282@okepread07...I am looking to purchase a boat from a friend of a friend.

I live in New England so if I buy it I will probably just have them store
and winterize it. Thanks for the info and I will let you guys know what comes of this. "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... One to two hours shop time at whatevcr their shop rate is.

If you live in a cold climate, you should change out the lower unit oil (
and while you are at it, the impellor) NOW. That way, if any water is inside, you won't have to deal with it freezing and cracking anything over the winter. Don't wait until spring. -- RichG manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners "Pat_RI" wrote in message news:iVWed.33597$cN6.19152@lakeread02...
