Thanks to the folks here at iboats, I pulled the trigger last week on my first boat. It's a 1985 Baja 170 with a 1998 Johnson Faststrike 150 and a 4 blade stainless prop, sitting on a 1994 Shorelandr trailer with bearing buddies. It's in great condition for a 25 year-old boat. Seats are a bit faded, but no major tears. Carpet is good, and more importantly the floor is solid. Transom is like a rock. I started it for the first time myself (on the driveway) and after priming it started at the first touch of the key. There was no radio so I yanked the glove box and put in an Alpine marine CD player and a couple speakers. Anyway, here's some pix of my new, old baby:
