The Other Woman

With an unsettled heart I offer the Other Woman to go to a new home. For ten years she has served me well with little demand for repair. She is a 1988 Bumble Bee 178 seen in many of my posts. Power is delivered from a Mariner 150 that is still strong and healthy. A 25 pitch stainless prop gives her the legs that have brought me home ahead of the weather many times. Everything works as it should with the exception of the live well fill pump. The fuse holder broke and in the process of replacing it I lost the wire. It still works but needs to be figured out by someone smarter than me. It has a live well timer that keeps the fish alive fine when filled by the drain valve. Also included is a Humminbird 798 side image and an extra transducer. And extra 25 pitch Quicksilver prop and spare tire also go with.

She isn’t perfect but has many years left in her. Transom was replaced by Genesis fiberglass in about 11 or 12 and will take a 200hp motor, but I wouldn’t be the man behind the wheel. Probably some details I’m forgetting, please pm with any questions. I have kept my TM for the new boat. I believe there are 9 Hi-Tek rod holder mounts positioned throughout the boat. I have some holders that I will throw in once I figure out what the new boat layout will be. I sell this boat with a clear conscience that whoever buys it will be getting a boat that they will use for many years to come. Many members have been in her and will speak for her. The interior and carpet are all original, she has been garage for the majority of her life. I have bought another boat that drafts way less and will let me go to the salt water which she has never been to.

Asking price is $5200 and I will listen to any reasonable offer. Please be nice and you might get a great deal on a very nice boat. Thanks for your time and enjoy the pics......Skeet

Good luck selling the other woman brother. It looks like a nice boat with lots to offer someone in need of a nice rig.

Someone’s going to get a nice rig!

A great looking rig, for sure!

Ihave had the pleasure of being in this boat many times. It is as Tim describes it, a jewel of a boat. She has been loved and treated very well. If I were younger, she would never have come up for sale. You also get the benefit of dealing with an upfront and honest seller, which is hard to find these days. I know she will go to someone who will take care of her, Tim wouldn't have it any other way.

Absolute great riding boat. Someone will get a fine ride.

She looks great Tim. Should go quick at that price.

Counted the holder bases today, and it’s 10 instead of 9. I’ll buy more and not leave holes in the floor. Most are in deck lids which are aluminum, so it wouldn’t hurt anyway. I’ll listen to an offer, worst I can say is no. And thanks for the comments everyone.

Wow. She's a real beauty,,,,where n Florida is it available?

you can tell its been well taken care of, someone should hop on this..

Trust me I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to get the money, but as a Disabled veteran on a very fixed income it is not an easy task to figure out. Someone is going to get a very nice well taken care of rig

In answer to the questions, I’m in central FL just above Orlando. We could talk about meeting partway if that would help.

Mr Anderson, we need to talk if you’re interested. Pm me if you like and we’ll talk by phone.

Thanks for the interest everyone.

Was in this boat once and was very impressed at the ride she had. Smooth as silk, with plenty of get up and go. Oh and Skeet caught 4 to my one that day. :) Great you got a new boat but this one will make someone very happy.

I remember that Dave, structure day. Was a bit chilly as I remember.

Hard to believe this boat hasn't sold yet. Skeet always treats her like a lady!

You’ve fished next to me enough to know Steve. Deep jigging time is close, and I sure miss it.

Guys & gals, dudes & dudettes- As I've mentioned in previous posts...way better than average boat condition/performance/price. As for Skeetbum, way better than average caretaker/lip-jerker:Rofl:ThumbsUp:fish
u2s

Thanks everyone.

So what's the new boat gonna be?

17’ Carolina Skiff center console. If I can ever get it out of the shop.

This is going to take some getting used to. With the other woman I was always the last one trolling when it’s breezy because it is sits down in the water. This one is the opposite because it’s on top of the water and not down in the water.

Glad you got it fixed and back on the water
