New fishing boat
« on: April 16, 2008, 11:45:24 pm »

Decided against investing a fortune into a big fiberglass tub with a guzzler of a motor this time around. Went with a smaller aluminum setup perfect for fishing...

She is 14 foot or so, great shape
Electric variable speed trolling motor + deep cycke battery
hand crank anchor with quick release
oars and all that + deep cycle battery
15 HP sears (merc) shortshaft outboard,
galvanized trailer + spare tire.

Everything in mint shape and definately garage kept if ever used.

 Perfect package for only $1,400. Seller had it listed for 2500 originally and got tired of dealing with people who woulnt come through with cash.

So here she is, Better than having a freggin' payment on a fiberglass bottomless money pit.

What do you guys think?

Looks great, Daddy. Clean as a whistle. One bit of advise though, put that battery in a battery case to avoid a spark that close to the gas tank. Congrats on the baby too.

Nice little boat. She'll be in the lake more times this year than my POS.  Grin

I think that was one of the boats I seen on Craigslist.

I'm jealous.  I'd love to have a little rig like that.  IMO Gamefishers are GREAT motors.  I hope it works for you like mine have for me.  What a steal.

Most fishermen sit at home in the winter, thinking about fishing.  Real fishermen go out and do it.
