Location: Timmins, Ontraio, Canada | Hi guys, I am buying a used lund fisherman 1750 . This will be my first big boat. It is a 1995 with a 115hp Johnson motor and trailer. It is in good shape and the guy hardly used it. The guy is asking $11 000 canadian for it. Is that a good price? And was there any problems with the 1995 Johnson motors.

| 1995 Johnsons were very good. Especially the "FastStrike".
Not sure which boat that is, because Canada has some different models thann we do in the US. However, we sold quite a few 1995 Lund 1700 Fisherman boats with Johnson 115s. They were very poplular. (Different boats than the current 1700 Fisherman). |

I had purchased a brand new 1995 Johnson Oceanrunner. Excellent motor! |

Three years ago I bought a used 1995 Lund 1750 Tyee with a Merc 135 on it for $14,000. I think you're in the ball park for the price. Can't contribute with the motor question, but I haven't had any problems with the boat itself, other than an accident the previous owner had and never disclosed when asked. Just take a good look at the rivets.
Dave. |

| I think the price is about right. The motor is a good one. Take a look at the lower unit and inspect for any signs that it may have hit anything. It can tell you a lot about how the thing was treated. Pull the hood off too and see how clean it looks. |

Location: Timmins, Ontraio, Canada | thanks everyone for the info. The boat is still in winter storage but going to look at it at the end of the month or so. There is about 4 feet of ice on the lakes here and there is still a lot of snow so it isn't boating season yet. |
