moloch16 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Thinking about buying this boat: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/boa/352821162.html This will be my first boat. Owner says the motor has low hours and cranks on the first pull. However I haven't heard great things about Gamefisher. Opinions on Gamefisher? The owner says this motor was manufactured by Mercury. Boat is in decent shape for it's age (1978). No major leaks. What do you think? Quote
Fishing Buds Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 sorry on the motor, don't know about that one but, if he'll let ya on the water and crank her open go for it by all means. as for the price-that would be on the good deal side around here(southern IN.) 14' w/trailer and motor goes about $1500.oo here. as I found out you can do alot with them, lotta tricks for them.

Guest SkyChimp Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Gamefisher is a SEARS store brand. I think various makers made the power head. If it starts on one pull and runs good, I'd go for it. My 2005 Merc 9.9 4 stoke doesn't even start on the first pull. My next door neighbor has a 15 hp Gamefisher on his 1448 jon and it runs, and runs, and runs, and runs. Quote
