Wow, this person's plan is to buy all this stuff new, go from Bemidji to the Twin Cities in about a month then sell it for $600 less than what they paid? This seems like a big gamble and I can't say that I agree with their tactics. Personally I think that used items lose about half their value as soon as you can no longer call them new and a month of near continuous use is nowhere near new. They should have just rented it if they had no intention of keeping it long-term."



I agree... Instead of renting, he should have bought used equipment. I have seen old town sport square sterns go for $600-$1000 and 4 hp four strokes go for about the same.


Could have bought used and sold for about the same. I would never buy brand new unless it was a long term investment.

for example: Boat , Motor =$1250

He posted no details on the boat or motor so there is really no way to know that.




OP Do yourself a favor and post some better info, like what the boat is, what the motor is and some pics would really help as well.

Just finished a trip from Headwaters of Mississippi to Twin Cities and need to sell my square stern canoe with 4 hp motor. I'll even include paddles, chairs and gas can for free. I'm asking for $3k. Please contact me at 828-450-0063 if interested.

Thanks.

Chris
