If you are on the book of faces, check out a site called Trick My Skiff. I have seen some pretty good deals roll through there from time to time.
Lots on Craigslist in that range. Pending on what exactly your looking for.

Well............... I guess it's time, I'm not doing any fishing/shrimping anymore. Here are pic of my little flats boat when it was new.
It's got a bit of wear on it, could use more gelcoat on the floor. But Motor runs great, it's been a good boat for me, I just changed the oil and foot oil,
pressure washed it clean, greased the trailer bearings. With it comes bunches of fishing poles and shrimping lights..
The power pole doesn't work, I took hydraulic unit out when it went bust.
I paid twenty five thousand for it new.. (13 yrs ago)
Ten thousand dollars takes it, cash for title.
Say it aint so Phantom. Ya throwing in the towel?
I’m with mike, sorry to see you sell it Danny. Very nice rig.
We will all take ya whenever you get the big!

I know the feelin Danny, and I AIN'T lookin forward to it! :dono
I know the feeling, Danny...Been tossing the idea around myself but just can't pull the trigger!!!
I think there will be a rash of boats up for sale here shortly with all the inshore closures and limit reductions recently enacted and more upcoming. Not everyone is keen on total catch and release. Pretty much going to be the case here shortly, at least from central Florida south.
OMG! Just so hard to perceive the concept of ADDICTION>affliction...hopefully my large goodie bag of fresh/saltwater prizes will help eliminate/delay this mind sway. But as the saying goes "you never really know until you've walked a mile in another man's shoes"! Physical limitations are with no "rocket scientist's" eval needed, a game changer, emotional decisions with anything/anybody will only be yielded with Father Time. The "star" from yesterday's bag of goodies on the Gulf...take note of the spot marking mid-body.

I wondered if it still had the sticker on it where it came over on the mayflower. LOL I had one in the early 80’s but mine was an 18hp. Almost needed two hands to pull it over. What a powerhouse it was. Nice rig, good luck with it.
Yobuck, I wish I had something to trade you for that, I could use it.
h.p.?
I bought a new 1957 Johnson 35 horse electric start, which was then their largest motor. It was the same as for appearance as this one, but a deep red/maroon color with white accent trim.Quote:

The Merc was faster, but much noisier, especially since the cowling was off so much. lol
Most runabout boats were molded plywood with mahogany transoms. Fiberglass boats were just starting to show up by the mid 50s.
Brand names like MFG and Lyman were the most popular where I was from. Mostly they were of the lap strake hull design.
phantom!! No No!! I relize you have another swell boat and maybe you are NOT GOING TO QUIT?! What on earth would you do----boring-----Wouldnt be the same without you in the water
I'm just burnt out Linda .....................
Don't care to do nothin anymore ......
Phantom 309, don't give up my friend. There are more than 1 ways to get out fishing. I am in central Florida and would be honored to take you out on the pontoon fishing and learn some new tricks. [emoji1]Quote:

Danny we know you suffered a major loss and a heartbreaking one at that. Even lost a piece of yourself. But I doubt your wife would want you setting around doing nothing. You need to give yourself some time to heal before you sell off everything. Might regret it soon after.Quote:

West coast closed down snook, redfish and trout south of Tampa Bay and there was discussions of doing it on east coast but they decided to gather more data first. All on FWC website.
:dono:donoWhite Flag IconWhite Flag IconLate on this 1....all I can say is "It just ain't right...DANNY/Phantom!!"
No takers on the boat = perhaps this next Fall ............................................
Easy enough= Add in about 10 gallons of fresh Shrimpies should do it(cleaned of course):RoflQuote:
