1986 Ranger 395V. This dude is big. Says it's a 2.6L yamaha, which converts to a 225. Got it fer a grand.
Sounds like a good buy!!!!
Can't wait to see that in Spring Creek.
I'll give the lower unit 2 months and inside of 6 it should have at least two stump holes punched in it over there. Within a year, it will be abandoned as structure after an epic battle with a the last stump he can put up with getting hung on.
Wannabe...
To tell the truth if I ever get to where I can travel to Grenada more often I will buy one just for trolling over there.
I've dine told him that ain't gonna be no stump field boat. We done been down that road one time and my nerves can't take it. It ain't the fact I'm werried bout pokin a hole in it. It's got more to do with the aggravation factor of gettin hung up all the time.
Theys one thing about it, if I get mad at him all I gotta do is go to the back of the boat and no better than I can hear, I won't hafta listen to him nor will I be able to hear him. That thing is a heavy boat. We may have trouble at steep ramps gettin it out of the lake in his truck.
SWEEET--the 395 is a great boat.
Looks like a great fixer upper.
Got an update jus awhile ago. Motor is purrin lime a kitten, both live well pumps appear to be workin and all trim switches are werkin. Got a bad crankin battery, but 3 bank charger had the trollin batteries charged. Trollin motor werks with no squeaks and foot control is smooth. Carpet on decks cleaned up nice. Gonna hafta replace carpet in the floor. Gonna werk on gel coat later this week. Test spot werked out well. Looks like he will be on the water before WB and has got twice the werk to do.
Nice lookin boat, congrats to your brother.
