New member and first boat

[Aspade17]

Hey every one, the name is Austin. I'm 26 from south central Pennsylvania, and have been fishing as long as I can possibly remember. I fish for anything and everything, with small mouth in the local rivers probably being my favorite. 

 

Anyway, to make a long story short I came across a deal recently on an 01 Lund Adventure wc16, with an 07 trailer, a 28hp johnson, 2 minnkota trolling motors, a bimini top and a few other items. Basically a very nice first boat I believe.

I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks the whole package is worth. Yes the boat will be used for any and all types of fishing not just solely for bass, but also for panfish, strippers or anything else I may encounter.

 

 Thanks in advance, Austin

Welcome aboard, Austin, and congrats on the boat!

I'm trying to get my wife more interested in fishing, not less. If I used my boat for those, she'd kill me.

 

Welcome to the forum, Austin! I don't know what that boat package is worth but a quick look at what's on it (Lund 16' deep V, 28hp motor, bimini top, tank, trailer, steering console, two trollers) I'm going to take a wild guesstimate, $5K on the used market.

 

That's a beautiful looking boat. Recently saw a fellow forum member's new Lund and the quality is superb.

Welcome aboard,

Do you know the year of the boat and motor?

I see several 1675 Lunds for sale in excellent condition, 2002 w75 hp Merc trolling motor etc for $2,900 and. 2009 w/40ph-4 stroke Yamamha with trolling motor etc, $4,200 making a quick search.

The boat pictured looks older, maybe mid 80's,  the trailer may have been used in salt water? Tires are nearly flat. The center console is home made, don't know why the gas tank is raised, maybe to make room for batteries? If you don't need the 7 hp kicker, that has value if it runs good.

Based on what is availble you may want to do some research before making a offer.

I know on the title the boat says it is an 01 with the trailer title stating it's an 07. As far as the motor goes in not sure other than it being a Johnson 28, I'd have to check into that. 

As you pointed out I do know the center console is home made. That tank you see sitting there is actually just a spare, the main one is down inside. 

A Google search did reveal this one that has a newer main motor and trolling motor.
