 What's it worth?
2014 Gator Trax 1754 w/3500 Mud Buddy I found this boat at Bass Pro and the salesman said make an offer and he would email it to corporate. I have been looking at buying a used rig then came across this. I need some advice or help figuring out what this thing is worth. Would I be better off just buying a used rig or making a low offer on this boat. Any info is greatly appreciated.

 Re: What's it worth?
I love my gator trax, don't know if I'd own another hull besides one from them. I'd low ball them around 13-14 and see what they say since we are already on our way to 2017

 Re: What's it worth?
It depends on whether that boat has the options you are looking for. Do you want the catwalks, pointed bow, flotation, etc.. Is that the size of boat you want? On a new boat, I wouldn't want to pay for options that I didn't want, so I'd would make a low offer, maybe $13k. I'd go higher if I wanted all those options.

 Re: What's it worth?
Thanks for the input. I can't find much info on that motor. I'm going to research it some more.

 Re: What's it worth?
They're good motors. I do believe the special just has a longer outdrive.
like said before, that rig is 2 years old. id offer $13k if that's what you're wanting. Don't forget that mudbuddy does have reverse now.

 Re: What's it worth?
I made an offer I guess I'll see what happens they are going to send it to corporate. If they don't take it I'll make another offer in August because I think they will still be sitting there. Thank you all for your input

 Re: What's it worth?
I'd also tell them that you'd give them more, if they are willing to put an HDR on there! hell, its worth a shot and you'll have reverse!

 Re: What's it worth?
I have the same hull. I made the catwalks into rod boxes. I had a lot of add on also. I believe the hull with no motor was around 18,000. I wish I would have found a deal like that when I was looking. I'd try 15,000 for the entire rig or just start dealing at 10k. They will move it

 Re: What's it worth?
Well they already responded to my offer and refused to deal on the boat. Firm on their price. I guess I'll look for a used rig.

 Re: What's it worth?
Exactly!!! All the plastic on the motor is oxidizing, nuts and bolts rusted. It's missing pieces. Wiring is corroded or starting to. Ignition switch is jacked from someone trying to start it with a screwdriver. It's been wet and hot and cold for 2+ years and they say they won't budge. They said that's what they paid for it so they gotta get that out of it.

 Re: What's it worth?
It's been sitting outside for at least 18 months. I used that boat to help with deciding on new boat specs. I doubt it'll start.
