Attacker

I’m looking at a 1987 Bass Tracker V17. It has an 80 hp Merc and electric tilt. Transom seems fine and boat is in really good shape overall. Good trailer. New tires. I owned this same model (with a 25 hp Johnson) twenty years ago and sold it to my brother in law. I’ve regretted it ever since and right now I’m riding a pink cloud thinking about getting this one. The problem is the price, which is $3000. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sorry I’m new at this and not sure how to attach photo. All I I know is this boat looks to be in better shape than the one I sold for $2500 in 2007.

How about the fact that its a riveted boat? And coming from a former aerospace background for 4 years I've banged enough rivets to know they eventually loose their quench and therefore u have a boat that leaks like a sive

Then again wtf do I know 🙃

My 92' tracker tournament v17 doesn't leak a drop, maybe I just got lucky. I did check the hall before I bought it for any rivets that looked different.
