His reason for selling it is because he doesnt have room for it anymore now that he has 3 boats. Just wondering from everyone familiar with boat prices and if an older boat like this isn't a really good choice. He's asking $5000 but said its negotiable.

I would suggest you find out more of why it needs a new prop. was the old one damaged? if so maybe it could have hurt the lower unit when he hit something, just something to think about.
if everything checks out ok then I think offering $4,000 and tell him to keep the trolling motor would be a good deal for it. I don't think I would pay more because of the age you just never know how long the motor will last. not saying it will break on you right away but I wouldn't expect it to last another 5 years either but maybe it will last 10 more years, just can never tell so its just a cr.ap shoot on how much longer the motor will last is what im thinking
my thinking is your paying $1,000 for the trailer and $3,000 for the boat and the motor comes with it for free for however much life it has left in it. that's the way I would look at it.
