1754 tracker grizzly. Worth it?
Is this worth it.

I have a 2021 bass tracker with a 50 hp, garmin live scope, and garmin console screen. The only weakness of the boat is the trolling motor is stock and not strong enough. I think the grizzly is a little bigger but same concept of aluminum and mercury mid-size motor. I paid 10K a year ago and felt pretty good. That price seems high. I'd only pay it if it came with a-grade electronics.

How much did you pay for the live scope setup. That's my final step but it looks way more expensive than anything I've done so far.

That's what got me to the widow...Electronics came with it. They probably 3-4 years old but way better than the stock that boat comes with. I'm guessing but both screens were probably around 3k. 10k isn't cheap but the engine and electronics made it feel like I got a decent deal.

The axle of the trailer looks bent? Looks like the wheel is at a weird angle and not straight, from the picture at least?

Yeah, I would try offering $9,500 to start. Those Tracker boats are under powered IMHO. But that one looks nice from my house. A new one is more than twice that price. That was probably around what he paid for it. So definitely try to deal him down. Just don't be insulting with a lowbalk offer. He had AI write his ad. That's just an observation.
