>>1171782You have to think realistically. How many times of the year do you see yourself prepping the boat and trailering it to the lake and everthing that goes along with it? The big mistake I made with the boat I bought last fall was it’s inability to be used when there is any chop on the lake (I have a bass boat). Granted my home lake is gigantic and not going to be something you’ll have to deal with in NC but something to think about. That boat in your pic won’t handle the waves either. If your home lake is small, you should be fine. Make sure you go through and make sure every single electronic component is in working order. This includes tilt/trim if it has it, lights, live well airetor/pump, fish finder, fuel gauge, anything else it might have. Although a pain in the ass, it’s a really good idea to ask the owner to meet you at a body of water so you have the ability to drive it around and are confident the motor isn’t shot. Pay attention to what kind of person you are buying from too. If they seem like the type of person to not maintain or have any mechanical know how it might not be in the best condition. The guy I bought mine from was a class mate from high school who is super autistic at maintaining his toys so I had no worries while buying mine.
