heres a little info on the boat...

Last year I rebuilt the trailer... new axle, new springs, new hubs, new bearing buddies.. picked up a set of rims and tires off of Fishaholic-18 that had less than 100 miles on them..Its a shoreline trailer.. the steel is about 2 times as thick as the trailers made today and will last for years to come.

I also replaces the flimsy teleflex cables and junk throttle/gear shifter with a sweet antique morse controller and heavy duty morse cables. The steering cable is a year old and turns the motor very smoothly, but the previous owner forced the wheel trying to un-stick the old cable and damaged the teeth on the wheel- It should be replaced, but I used it for 2 seasons as is... it will sort of hang up if you turn the wheel one way and has to be slightly wiggled to free the bent gearing tooth.

oh.. its got a sweet Racor water seperator too..

This boat is worth more than 3 G's IMO probably 4.. I am just selling it for what I have into it.
