Buying My First Bass Boat

[MrPerfect]

Question, what are the things to look for when buying a used bass boat?

I have started saving and I'm looking to pick up a used/reliable bass boat for $6,000 or less. I've been a shore fisherman my entire life, and the breadth of my boating experience and knowledge extends to jet boats.

Anything in particular I should look out for? Any suggestions?

I'm in the Orlando, Florida area.

There's an article here at: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/buying_first_boat.html

You may want additional information. I'd recommend Googling "how buy used bass boat", but don't use the quotes.

for 6 grand and under your looking at aluminum. Id say to look for a used Lowe or tracker with a 40. Just make sure the hull is in decent shape and have a outboard tech look at the outboard and check the compression.
