Boat cruises at 23-24mph
WATER TEST IS INCLUDED with a full tank of non ethanol gas. Make time and I will meet you at my place then we can head to the boat ramp and go out for a water test and walk through the boat features, loading / unloading and motor. I want you to know you’re getting a solid boat.
Simple reliable fishing boat. Easy to load and unload in the water, light weight can tow with a small car and fits in a garage or small side yard easily like a jet ski. The kind of boat that takes no effort to go fishing last minute on a Monday before the sun goes down and be back by sunset.
*The kicker motor and drop bracket are available for an additional $1k if you want to buy it with the boat. Otherwise I will remove them before the sale and seal the 4 small holes up for you. I always say one motor is non and two is one. Nothing worse than running out of gas or hitting a stump and being stuck in the middle of nowhere.
The hull has been used a lot and modified a few times by previous owners and has quite a few nicks dings and scratches, chipping and cracks, stains, misc places where old chairs were and especially cracks on the rails from hitting things and stepping on them. There are zero leaks in the hull. It is extremely sturdy even in heavy chop.
Clean title boat with a dry core (it isn’t super water logged like a lot of skiffs). Fast, fun, reliable and simplistic.
Bench seat, Bimini top, I custom made an aluminum standing post with cool cell phone holder and rod holders, put on my spare 2024 white Suzuki DF20 with 30 hours (and counting). Fully went through motor and serviced it with new plugs, fuel filter, water pump, cleaned the entire fuel system out and did an oil change and a new oil filter and o-ring. Has a tiller Extension as well for idling in the flats.
Boat is quick! Comes on plane fast and Cruises at 20-21 knots at half to 3/4 throttle and maxes out at 25mph with the df20. Could prop up and hit 28-30 I bet. Sips fuel, fish all day on a 3 gallon tank (has about an 30 mile range on the 3 gallon tank) Awesome combo. Motor only weighs 96 lbs!
Has a new flip up led anchor / stern light and a nice led bow light. Uses alligator clips to a deep cycle for easy removal when not using at night. Also has a little mushroom anchor and some lines, new boat plugs (and spares) and a new high flow manual bilge pump. Includes two basic life vests.
Comes on a clean title trailer in my name in good working condition with two quick straps for the stern, good bunks, good lights and a new flip up jack wheel. Just added side bunks to the trailer to make loading a breeze! Tires are in good condition.
CLEAN TITLE IN MY NAME FOR BOTH THE BOAT AND TRAILER. Cash only no Zelle, no checks etc. Cash mean cash by the way. If you don’t know what that means go to a bank and ask them what cash is.
