Imagine yo brain bein that rope.

Well boys and girls I heard from the insurance man and they are not going to total my motor. The rascals cut me a check for the repairs minus my deductible. Here's the deal, do I
1- spend 4400 on a motor that is worth around 4000 according to the retail book value
2- take the 4400 plus the 1000 I can sell mine for and put some kicker with it and buy a used one still in warranty for say 7500 to 10000
3- same as above but put about 8000-9000 with it and go new and get full warranty

Is this another poll? lol Before I could make the decision which by the way the first option would not be a option for me, I would have to know how old your boat is......if the boat is not real old go with the new motor....if its kinda getting old then go with the used one.

What HP is your motor?

1 wouldn't be in my equation either G

What year is your boat?

boat is a 2000 model but is mechanically flawless, it has a few fishing scars from having rookies in my boat and fishing stumps, but that is it. My boat has always been in the shop and out of the weather unless I get caught on the lake in it.
