$24,300 which included tax & license. I know it is 3 years old, but the boat has never been in the water. It is powered by a new 2002 Suzuki 140hp four stoke with ss prop with a 3 year warranty, new 2002 Minn Kota Maxx74, new 2002 Lowrance X71, new 2002 Garmin 160, new 2002 Hambys, new 2002 batteries, trolling motor bracket, and Ranger cover plus all equipment has warranties. I figured the "average" price for this boat with everything 3 years old to be around $23,000 so, IMO $24,300 down the road for all new equipment with warranties was a good price. Now, the long wait for soft water! Thanks for all the replies to my various posts.
Congratulations on your purchase, it sounds like you are happy and that is what counts. Enjoy and you can allways head south.

Congratulations on your new boat. I am sure you'll enjoy it for many years to come.
Sounds like you got a great deal from the prices I have been seeing. I like the way you have it rigged too. Enjoy your new boat.

Congratulations! I'm looking at a very similar rig to replace my 1750 Sportfish. I just finished reading the ton of posts that are in the archives on the 617. I can't believe how many people talked about how heavy the 617 is. In comparison, the 1800 Pro V I was considering is about 80 lbs. heavier than the 617! I really don't think the 617 is all that heavy considering that boats similiar in length, aluminum included, are within 100 lbs. of the 617.

Congrats on the purchase, you did get quite the deal. You will have a fun time come spring!
About all I can say is WOW! That has to be one of the best deals I have heard of. You must have gotten the boat for a few thousand below what the dealer paid. I guess it does pay to keep looking for those new leftovers. Congratulations on a very nice sounding boat.
