if the taylor is anything it sounds like a good price,its hard to get on the water for under 2 grand,at least here in the midwest. if you have the know how and resources the other would be a good deal as well but a motor and all the goodies for a marine application,exhaust,plates,pump,etc can get costly...sometimes its cheaper in the long run to buck up at first and get a turn key boat instead of spending half the summer and lots of pains and busted knuckles to most likely spend the same thing in the end, this at least has always been my experience...there are always some nice turnkey boats on this forum for sale. whatever you choose, have fun.
