Boat purchase help please

need you guys & gals thoughts on this boat my son is wanting to purchase, it is his former boss and he is wanting 6500.00 and I just dont have a clue. I am waiting on my son to tell me the model of the boat and motor, I wanna think he said the boat was 18ft and the motor was a 200 son said the boat was a 95 and the thought the motor was also,boat has new carpet and the guy extended the deck on and just did all new electrical on it but not sure what that consist of. I know you cant tell a lot about it but thought I might see ifn anyone could help me out on this

It sure looks clean. Lot's to be said for a boat that's been taken of plus he knows the owner which is even better. I think I would ask for a sea trial and do compression check and see how firm he is on the price and go from there.

Good lookin rig. Mid 90's model

A friend of mine has a Bumble Bee bass boat and he has it set up for crappie fishing. It is a good boat.....real smooth ride.

like yikess said the first thing I would do is a compression check, then run it, then see how firm he is. Bumble bee is not a bad boat, not top of the line, but not bad.

If everything checks out, I would go 6000 for the boat.

Oh yeah, find out about TM and electronics if you can.

thanks guys, will fill in any details as I find them out, on the water test wont be a problem as the guy lives right on the water, will have to take it to my work to test the compression, the only thing I told my son was that most likely that motor is gonna like gas and the boat has a 32 gal tank and he would be out pretty good each trip if he fished it much but hey its his money and I cant tell him what to do, only advise him and ifn any of you got sons you know about how much of it they listen to :)

Most 18' boats arent rated at 200hp...Bumble has a fast reputation so they may have put em on there but I had a 18'5' Skeeter and its max was 175 my 20' has a max of 200 but that sure is a clean boat... Only boat I seen in that shape that old is Duckhunter's..

alway heard a Bee boat was good and fast, you're right on liking the gas if he runs up and down the lake.
