Looking for some input on this boat.. Any is appreciated, excellent shape, solid compression on 1992 Mercury XR2 150. The boat and motor is a 92 model and have been told by the owner that is has less than 100 hours of use. The interior, carpets, and seats all look great! Good or bad? Price is 7500. Please help with input!<br />Oshi

Re: procraft boats

I can't estimate the value of a 1992 Procraft, but have a 1982 with a Merc 115 that I bought new in 1982. It's been a great boat. I would recommend that you get in the boat and walk around and watch for soft spots in the floors. Procrafts weren't build as solidly as some other bass boats, but they cost a little less and hold up very well if cared for properly. Check under the battery boxes for deterioration from battery spills. Have the engine compression checked and open the lower unit and check for water in it. Cosmetic items like dull gelcoat will clean up miraculously well.

Re: procraft boats

what model boat? I have a 91 astro fish and ski(same manufacturer, same hull as procraft fish and ski's) Boat is a bit slower than comparable models because of the weight. Check out under the floor ski storage area really good for rot, these things are notorious for rotting under there. The only other complaint is that the marine group doesn't follow up on there boats at all, if you call them to ask a question about your boat, they will tell you that they don't keep any records on boats that old. I love my boat, but there have defenitley been issues with it, but then again, it's a boat, so there will always be issues.
