I am going to look at a 15' dual console McKee Craft tomorrow that is
being advertised locally. It is a 1995 model. Is anyone familiar
with what model this might possibly be? I called the owner and he
wasn't quite sure.

I'm not sure they made a 15' dual console in 1995.

Be interested in what you find out.

Turns out the boat is actually a 14'. It is configured as a dual
console. For a 14', it seems to utilize the available space fairly
well. I think it would suit my needs as a fishing boat that I can
also use as a runabout for my family of 3. The captain's chairs are
quite low to the floor making for a shortage of leg room. That is my
only criticism of the boat.

It is a 1995 model hull with a 1989 Mercury 60 hp motor. Has a
fishfinder and a vhf radio though the seller says that he doesn't
think the radio transmits. Also has a trolling motor. The hull seems
to be in real nice shape. The seller said I could get a trial ride
in the lake.

Boat is advertised at $4250 and he says $4150 is the lowest he would
go. I expect he'd take a couple hundred less, but I'd like some
opinions as the what a reasonable value for this boat would be. I'm
thinking that the price is high for this size boat, especially with an
older motor. However, overall it seems like quite a nice quality boat
and comparably speaking seems like a fair deal when compared to others
I've seen advertised or used at dealers.
