Guys,
Im a fisherman, not a boater and have very little knowledge or capacity to learn too much about boats. I came across the following boat and its really the size and style I am looking for. It also has a lot of add-ons I need to fish around here. I have no idea if the envinrude v-tecs are good engines. The motor had the pwerhead replaced? WTF, that seems odd for a 5 yr old motor?
I believe tritons are good boats and I've read good reviews. This guy took great care of the boat and below are a few questions I asked him and his responses
Can you give me some feedback on this?
Have you had the motor compression checked?
Yes I had Acies Marine my local Evinrude service shop do a complete inspection of the motor including a compression check a week ago. I did it for a buyer that could had credit issues and could not get the financing so I have relisted it.- Do you have motor service records?
I have some receipts for work that has been done to the motor. All work has been performed by Acies Marine and done under warranty, other than the 3 year or 300 hour service. The motor currently has a new powerhead with about 20 hours on it which has a warranty until 12/12/12. I have attached the print out from the motors ECU giving the history along with the inspection receipt from Acies Marine.
- How many batteries? Onboard charger?
There are (4) batteries with a 3 bank onboard charger- Trolling motor seems light, is it enough power to move this boat?
The trolling motor does a great job moving the boat. I have seen it move 4 mph on the gps.
here is the listing -
