Update 2017
Decided to put the boat back on the market. Most everything is the same with the exception of the motor hours and newer trailer, both of which are updated below. Price updated as well. Has been a great boat but just do not have the time to use it like I use to. Motors still run great but this boat would also be the perfect candidate for the new light weight line of 200 hp 4 strokes. Get into a great riding boat with new power for way less than buying new or newer used. I know this boat from top to bottom and can answer any questions.

Appreciate the compliments. I was lucky in the fact that the boat was in good shape when I got it. A few dings here and there. But needed a lot and I mean a lot of TLC. You almost couldnt tell the boat was yellow from so much oxidation. That and getting the NSEs to fit a dash that was not intended for dual displays was a definite challenge. Id be happy to go over everything I did to the boat with anyone that is interested. I pretty much know it from top to bottom now.
If it wasn’t so nice having a paid for boat, I’d probably make you an offer on it. Its not so big that you get killed with the fuel bill and its not so small that you get beat up running offshore.
What kind of numbers are you getting with the twins? Average fuel burn for a day of trolling?
Plus, that boat will plane with one of those motors, wont’ it? Nice safety net for anyone taking it offshore.
To be honest I have never really crunched the numbers to get an exact figure. It is definitely over 2 MPG with a normal fishing load and 3 or 4 guys. I never run the boat hard, usually avg around 30 mph, maybe a little more, even on slick days. I have time to spare but not money and when I fish it is laid back.
Hey grady18, how is Michael doing? I think that was his name (I admit I am bad with names). Does he still live up around your way? Tell him I still want that anchor. If you fished with him much you probably know the one I am talking about.

Sounds like you need to make an offer so you won’t have any regrets letting this one go.
