I bought a used 2009 G3 176 with a 25hp high thrust 80 lb maxxum last year. Got a great deal on the boat 6000.00 Since then put on a 70 4 stroke yammi( 25 wouldnt put boat on plane) a 80lb ipilot link, a used 898 hb spider rigging racks and everything else that you need on a boat. I got more in the upgrades than i do in the boat.Now granted I got a lot better boat than I had and still alot cheaper than buying new. but if its not rigged for crappie fishing even a used one can get expensive.
