First boat..need help

[AJP8177]

Hi all, I am in Hunterdon County and looking to get a used boat for the family to use mainly on Round Valley and Spruce Run and maybe some other cool NJ lakes once I get more familiar with the area.

I am a novice when it comes to boats, so really looking for some assistance or guidance. I have decided on a 16-18 foot Deep V boat for comfort and stability.

I am looking at a 2000 Tracker Targa 17 walkthrough. It has a 90 HP Mercury 2 stroke and a 9.9 Evinrude kicker. They both look quite old. Any opinions on this one? What do you think is a fair price?

Also, looking at a Crestliner Nighthawk 1640 with a Mariner 9.9 motor. What do you think is a fair price for this?

Which of these 2 would you go with? Does anyone have something similar they are looking to sell?

Thank you in advance and I look forward to getting on the water!
