I was kind of leaning toward that Pro Tracer 162 until your post, Chuck.

I've actually got a little Honda 4 stroke I can use as a kicker, so I'm not as concerned about the lack of a kicker/trolling motor, although the price should reflect that.

I'm not sure I see the downside of buying a 16' boat for now, with the understanding that I'll probably want to sell and go bigger in a few years. I'm not sure if an extra 3-4 years of use on 10-30 year old boats/motors/etc. will affect the resale value so much that I'll be losing a lot.

The Starcraft would be great, and has a better price, but I'm more concerned as to the condition. Haven't seen it in person yet.
