If you are looking for a new boat, but would rather not spend all of the extra money, this fully restored Bass Tracker Pro 17 modified V aluminum fishing boat may be just right for you. If you have driven to look at boats that were listed as "fully restored" or " just like new" and been disappointed when you see them in person, I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this gem of a boat. The listing price for this boat is more than most for a boat of this age, but way lower than a newer boat with all of these features: I have literally been asked by dozens of folks if this is a brand new boat. I restored this boat with the intention of keeping it for a long time, but have to sell it now...

Before you PM me to tell me how stupid I was to put all of his time and money into this boat, I already know. I restored this boat with the intention of never selling. My situation has changed, and bad for me, but good for you; I now need to sell.
The photos shown were all taken within a week of this listing being placed, so what you see IS what you get. Not some photos from years ago "when the boat still looked good".
I have more photos, and photos of the restoration available to show the depth of the restoration process on this boat available on photobucket. To view, click on the link below or cut and paste the following web address into your browser:

This boat is really a head turner at the ramp and on the water. I am willing to meet SERIOUS buyers at nearby lakes for test on water, if desired.
I am asking $12,900 Or Best Offer. Full asking prices includes some cool extras. Ask for details. No trades, please.
I am really not too interested in trying to ship this boat to the new owner. If you live within a few hundred miles from Kansas City, I will be more than happy to try to work with serious buyers.
Please PM me, No calls after 8:30 PM, please.
