Do you think it could ever be changed over to saltwater for a little bay and river fishing?

THAT IS ONE HUGE BOAT (photo)

I think it was a misprint. Should read 36 ft boat!

[Surf and Turf]

FL the motor is for salt. Yamaha originallly made that motor for sail boats. And yes the complete rig could be used in salt.

Cdog, it is a 36 footer!

Thats a nice boat at a good price. If I were in the market for another boat I would buy it in a heartbeat. Man these people don't know a deal when they see one. Come on folks, don't miss out on this one....Goodluck my friend

[Surf and Turf]

Thanks Clyde!

I think the age has them scared, but just one look and that will change. The boat gets used probably 5-6 times a year and sits in the garage under cover the rest of the time. When I pull her out for the annual "first start" she starts on the 4th pull every time.

Someone will want to take a look and then........ :jawdrop:

Thanks........

Oh, and is the motor you have on it electric start???

[Hat80]

I'm thinking that maybe the 9.9hp Yamaha is whats scareing them off. I use to have a 16' bassboat with a 10hp Merc. on her. The boat was no speed demon but it had no problem getting up on plane and would get you from point A to B at a good clip, nice little boat.

You might want to say something about how your Spectrum performs with that motor. I know it's a good deal and will get right along but others may not. Goodluck my friend and tightlines

Same thoughts here, that why I asked for an HP rating, and info on the 9.9. Trying to get an idea of what the 9.9 would sell for. I used to build custom Johnboats (just as a hobby for people I knew, and help pay for fishin stuff), with a 14 ft, after modifications and equipment, 2 people and their "stuff", a livewell/baitwell of water, that a 15 hp was lacking. I was running 25's on these. Now I have to admit, when I went Ringperch fishing in the winter, with nothing but a couple poles, minnow bucket, and a small cooler, that thing would fly, and chine walk on those tight bends

The 4-stroke 9.9 moves her alog quite well. An exact speed I could not tell you but I will take anyone who wishes to look at it out for a ride. It moves along at a pretty good clip with 2 people of course if you already weigh 400 lbs you might consider a whale boat instead. I'm 5'10" and weigh 190, my wife is 5'4" and weighs wet 105. We plane easily and quickly.

The boat is rated for 600 lbs or 4 people. I wouldn't want to fish with 4 in the boat, however. The max motor I beleive is 40 HP, but the Norfolk lakes where I use it are restricted to 12 hp now and were 10 Hp when I bought it. It is not an electric start although it has a charging circuit for the battery. Once this motor has been started the first time (generally 4 pulls) it starts on a half pull from then on.

If you live in Richmond I am 1.5 hours away from a nice ride!

C'mon, I need the room in my garage!

Didn't want to post on the boards, so if you didn't get it, shoot me one, or a PM

BONG! BONG! BONG!

Sold. First person to look at it took it!

[FL FISHERMAN]

Glad you were able to sell it Surf and Turf. When I saw it I was very tempted. But due to my unfortunate financial circumstances I wasn't able to really think about it. Just think I almost bought a nice $12,000 center console last fall, I would be in a world of hurt right now. Now you have room in your garage!

[Surf and Turf]

Thanks FL Fisherman.

They were a very nice couple looking to do some fresh water fishing. They have an 18 ft CC for around $5K with a 115 Johnson if anyone is interested.

Yep got a nice hole in the garage now. Kind of sad really. Had so great times in that boat. Some great stories too. I kept a log on board.

Fair winds and following seas my friend!
