Hey Ship - What all (from your refit) is included in the sale? Chargers?, Depth finder?, etc? I know I'm 12hrs from you, but have always wanted a stick steer boat for crappie fishing. If you could take pics showing everything included that might help
Also - When the marina fixed the transom, what was done? Did they remove the rotted wood and recore? or did they just put the metal brackets on the outside to reinforce?
Was the foam in the inner hull checked for water?
I'd love to have a boat like this but 1000 miles is a bit much to travel just to check things out.
Let me know, I have time that I can take off for a "Road Trip".
Thanks - Rob
Ship good luck with your sale.
On a side note you better get yo ticker checked out before you open that Venture up, walk her thru the chime and she is gonna fly. I had one several years ago and I loved to drive that boat, could turn in on a dime and never get out of the throttle, just back off the trim a little, sure miss that ride. Congrats on the new to you ride!!

That should compensate you a little for a 12 hour drive. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/main-...ahoy-41-a.html
Reinforced transon and placed metal brackets for motor mount.
No water in foam insulation.
Last used two weeks ago. Caught 25 crappies and 15 bluegill. Two trash fish (bass):Rofl
I could see that is was fiberglass with a brown and yellow color scheme. I love earth tones especially brown. The key ignition is mounted on the left side to the right of the steering wheel. The steering wheel was mounted on the left side, and the throttles were mounted on the right side. It has a 25 hp Johnson motor on it. It has two 360 degree swivel seats in it and there is a tray on each side of the gunnel where you can put things like pliers or bait bags while you fish. It also had an old flasher unit on it. I purchased the boat, motor and trailer wrote him out a check on the spot. I hooked the boat to my truck and began to tow it to a marina I trust.(Alabama Marine on highway 150)

I have had a few inquiries and I tell them all the first one with a true commitment and a down payment will receive a fine boat. I will take the fish finder, onboard charger, and trolling motor off and sell the boat, motor and trailer for $800.00. That should compensate you a little for a 12 hour drive.
Yeah, This old man (age 68) might only be going 1/3 throttle and you can forget about "Hole shots" because I've been there and done that. Now it is about relaxin and fishin.Quote:
