Hi all,

I am considering purchasing a 16ft Ozark. It is a V hull with foot
controlled trolling motor and a 40hp Mariner. The boat is an 86 (as is
everything else) and comes with a trailer, life vests, two live-wells (front
and rear), two gas tanks and all seats. People who own it are asking $2800
and said everything works great.

I am located in central Illinois.

So what do you think? Good deal? Bad deal? What would be reasonable
offer? I have not been able to find much information about this boat on the
web and this would be my first boat. Looking for something for primarily
fishing (small and medium sized lakes) and the occasional family cruise
around the lake.

Thanks for any info.

18 year old boat. The price is best determined by the condition..not the
specifics. I'd check into Ebay and www.boatraderonline.com to see what
comparable boats are selling at.

Just for a baseline, I bought a 40 hp Yamaha, 16 ft. Carolina Skiff ,
galvanized trailer, 1996 model for $4,000.00 and didn't think I either over
or under paid. RichG

Thanks for info. I tried boatraderonline, but there weren't any that seemed
comparable. I think I will offer 1500 and walk away if he isn't interested.
