Hi! A friend of mine is selling the attached boat--would come with trailer, two trolling motors, gas tank, batteries, two seats, and two cushions.

Few questions: 1. Is this a good starter boat for the Hanson Cove (last cove before Greene's Basin) area? 2. My son's only 7, so it'll really be a couple years before he's using this on his own (I think?)--besides the batteries, will the rest keep OK if stored? 3. Is $1700 a good enough deal to buy early? I may be able to get it for less.

Thanks!
