Here is a teaser as I let this thought sink in.
Picture is by WildlifeSC a few years ago when my son was home on leave.

186 Bone Flats Boat
140 Suzuki fourstroke
2002 Boat,motor,and trailer. 2008 Trolling motor. Bone boats were made for a very short time and when the designer and builder had financial problems,the molds and all tooling was bought by Pioneer. Pioneer is still marketing the boat as its Cape Island model. While there are not a great number built and sold - they are somewhat hard to find because those that have them are so fond of them. You can go here to see all the specs. :http://pioneerboats.com/capeisland186.html
The early 140 hp Suzukis had two inherent design problems. One was a casting that had a port for an oxygen sensor. The sensor was not part of the final design and the port was plugged with a steel plug. Later castings did not have the port in the casting. The other fault was a poor shift linkage design that allowed the linkage to wear a hole in the oil pan. Later design added a bearing and eliminated the problem. Both of these issues have been addressed on this engine at a cost ~ $3000. Engine hours are less than 1000 and runs perfectly. Top speed is excess of 45 mph.

The trolling motor is a 24 volt Minn-Kota Riptide, hand controlled, with quick attach mounting. A two bank battery charger keeps the trolling motor batteries charged, prolonging battery life and ready for use.
Garmin Chartplotter/Sonar and radio complete the electronics.
Boat is ready to fish. A great shrimping platform as well. Includes anchor and rode, coast guard safety equipment, paddle and mud anchor.
Boat has been fished for 12 years and shows normal wear and tear.
Asking $ 10,900.00 You may contact me on this thread/or by private message/cell @ 843-321-0399.
Thanks for looking,

I was about to brag on the mfg for choosing Suzuki motors because the (2) I have owned were simply outstanding. Sorry you had a $3,000 problem; otherwise how did you like the Suzuki? Boat looks great, and equipped well, except for the hand controlled motor.
Hope all goes well for you and your sale at a decent price.
VERY nice bow rise for a bay boat; capable of use at the jetties and Nearshore reef nicely.

The bow flare does a great job of keeping the spray down. Boat handles chop very well. The Suzuki is by far the best outboard I have ever owned - quiet,smokeless and just sips fuel. I have taken it to 6HI after spades several times
Thanks for the comments.

Great boat and Looks like it is in great shape. I’ve seen 2004s around here (CHS area) go for 15-16k. I expect this will get snapped up- good luck with the sale!
Have taken a 186 Cape Island Pioneer 30 miles offshore before. Love these boats and their layout. They’ll do almost anything around here.

Thanks Cracker - thought I would move it up to the top where Warbler could see it? LOL - we might have heard the last from him. If lucky.

If you mention extortion again, I’ll have your legs broken…
Catch you anywhere near it and i’ll have your legs broken.
Is that communicating a threat??
