I've been thinking about buying a boat. I fish mostly for Salmon/Steelhead in rivers but would fish more in lakes and Puget Sound if I had a boat.
A guy I work with is selling his boat because he hasn't been using it the last few years. It's a 1986 14' Glassply (boston whaler style) fiberglass it has a center steering console a 1985 Merc 35hp with 42hrs it has a dual battery settup with switch rodholders caulkins trailer with new tires also has a depth finder and windshield and an anchor. The pictures look like its in real nice shape and real clean. He said he would take $1800 for it does this sound like a good deal?
As much input as possible would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I would have to borrow the money to buy the boat. What's the best way to justify the purchase to my wife? (from your experiences)
