Looking to buy a new boat

[ruoutdoorsman]

All,

Been looking around for the past few months on upgrading my boat to something a little more for striper fishing on the lake. Thoughts on the sea hunt 212? From the research I've done they seem like great boats for both fresh and salt water fishing, mind you most of my fishing would be done on SML. Below are links to 2 I am considering driving out to take a look. Are they reasonably priced in your opinion? I have looked around on various sights and they seem to be in the general price range. Any advice? thanks guys!

The 2003 looks like new from the pictures so maybe it was kept inside during the non-use time and not used much. Also lots of room. I have always felt 20 to 22 foot boats were the maximum you wanted to tow on the road.

The price is right too compared to the price of a new motor.

Thanks for the reply Formula, just found out the 2003 is pending today. Curious as to what thoughts are on evinrude? Never owned one myself and and dont see many around SML. Been very happy with my Mercury on my current boat and see a lot of yamahas. any one have experience with evinrude? thanks.

I have a etec. It's the second Evinrude I have owned. Service is essential(as is the case for the rest of them). 2003 with 560+ hours and nothing major. That being said, also, have had a Merc, Suzuki and a Lycoming(Airboat). LOL.
