I’m going down to look at a 2001 190 WA. It was reported with a Mercury 115 4 stroke. Load rite trailer. Modern electronics and fishing gear, including a bow mounted trolling motor. I intend to use the boat in Lake Erie for fishing and island hopping . Seller is asking $10k . Is that a fair price? What should I look for in a used Sea Pro? I know the pandemic has prices crazy here.
Thanks in advance.

$10k is slightly under the average retail price for just the boat and trailer in my area so depending on the condition and the electronics, gear and trolling motor, I'd say it's a deal...especially considering pandemic prices.
Wiring has always been the weak link on Sea Pros so I'd check all the switches on the console to be sure they operate the bilge pump, live wells and nav lights as they should. I'd also check the condition of the rubber fuel lines and look for a fuel/water separator , trolling motor, and electronics.

Thanks. I got burned on a few boats this fall/winter. Worked out my deals and had even given one guy a few bucks to hold it, at his request, until the weekend. Both were sold for more than our agreed price and the sellers didn’t care.
The Sea Pro turned up in my search and my wife loved the idea of a cuddy versus a CC. I’m kind of excited even with a 2.5 hour drive each way.

I would not worry to much about wiring unless it is a mess. I have almost completely rewired my sv1900 during update of electronics. Now I feel confident after heat shrinking all my connections and using new fuse bar

I brought her home. The boat was solid. The only issues were the crappy cup holder built-ins were in crappy shape and the plastic ceiling liner in the cuddy was cracked up. The liner in the live-well seems a bit iffy, too. The rest is just elbow grease. Any thoughts on what I can do with those cup holders? I’ll post pics when I wash the road salt and grime off her.

Show us some pics when you get a chance. I have always been interested in walk-arounds.
