Description

This is an amazing boat. I bought it from a doctor two years ago when he relocated to Denver (he was the only prior owner), and its been an amazing ride for me and my family ever since. It only had 80 hours on the motor when I got it (so lightly used), and it was covered and stored when not in use so the interior was (and still is) in immaculate condition. The hull is also in great condition. The boat fits nine people and is great for cruising around the lake with your family and friends (whether they are in the boat or you are pulling them behind you on skies or on a tube). Its also a great fishing boat. Its got about a 12 inch draft, which means you can get into very shallow areas when you pull the motor up. If youre looking for a great all-around boat to cruise the lakes or the bays on the coast, this boat covers it all.

Im selling the boat because Im buying a new one. If youre interested, call me at phone.

Key Features

The Yamaha VMAX 150 HP is an awesome motor. It doesnt just sound amazing when you turn it on, it provides you with more power than you will ever need for this boat. Whether youre pulling a skier in tow or cruising with 7 or 8 people on board, the Yamaha delivers the necessary power with ease. I replaced the stock prop (which is now a spare that comes with the boat) with a stainless steel 3-blade Yamaha prop, and you can get her up to 45 MPH with four or five people on board. Power is not an issue with this boat. Ive only put about another 40 hours or so on the motor, which means youve got plenty of life left to last you for years. Ive done all the winterizing and summerizing along with other required maintenance, and Im happy to walk you through it if youre interested in the boat.

***Some Things to Note

There are a few things you should take into account. First, its an

older boat, so it has some dings and scratches and theres some fading on the

outside panels, as you would expect. However, its in fantastic condition for a

ten year old boat. Second, it needs a new wiring harness and/or some new

fuses for the switch board. This doesnt impact the operation of the motor at

all. The motor is directly wired to two batteries and works perfectly fine. The

bilge pump is also directly wired to the battery, so that works as well. But if

you want to use the fish/depth finder, the stereo, lights, etc., you need to

look into the wiring issue. Ive taken $1,500 bucks off the FMV retail price so

you can spend some money to fix on your own (or to have someone look at it).

Again, it does not affect the operation of the boat. Finally, the trailer needs

some new carpeting wrapped around the supports and some new wheel guards. Both

can be done DIY in about two to three hours. If you can handle operating a

boat, you should be able to handle these minor details without much trouble.
