From 1980 through the mid-2000's, Pro-Line built a large number of Sport center console fishing boats—that means the used boat market is rich with choices under our maximum price, mostly in the 17' to 20' range. Some, in fact, come in well under the $10,000 mark. We saw a 17' 1986 with a 115 HP outboard and a trailer for a mere $4,995, and a 2000 model for $7,499. Both represent a real bargain when it comes to buying a used boat. Most of these boats come with trailers, have Bimini tops instead of T-tops, and carry outboards of varying makes and sizes. Since these are dedicated fishing boats, even the oldest ones come with perks like livewells and electronics. One down-side: unlike most center consoles built today, when these were built, 20' was generally considered too small to house a head compartment inside the console. As a result, you need to go larger to get a head compartment with this vintage boat.
