Help With Boat

[jets33]

i just got this boat for $150 and i dont know what year this boat is or any information on it. I was wondering if this boat is worth keeping and fixing up for fishing. i need all the information i can get for this is my first boat. i also need ideas for a deck on. thanks

Does the boat have an ID plate on the transom or some place on the hull?

[jets33]

i could not make out all that it says all i could make out is 3 person 1000 pounds

I think that's the capacity sticker, the ID plate should be metal with the boats serial number stamped into it, that should also give the manufactures info.

Might be a Terry boat, mid- to late-70's perhaps.

do you guys believe it is worth keeping and trying to put a front deck on

Boy, that's before my time Bass fishing wise that is.....

Don't think we could tell you without a ton of pic's, and even then it would only be an assumption, but for $150. it's something you can play with and who knows you may have a keeper there.

My first question would be "Do you have the Titles to the boat , motor, and trailer?" If not, walk away from it. My second question would be "Will the motor start?" If so, it's worth the $150. The way the boat is laid out, you don't need a deck on it. Assuming it floats and the gas motor starts, all you need is to clean it up and to mount a trolling motor on the bow. I'm simplyfing things when I say clean it up.
