Actually got given to me. My parents bought this boat because it had a brand new 50 horse Johnson motor on it that they swapped motors with the one on their pontoon. Nice little fishing rig, everything works, flat bottom newer carpet. I need to replace bunk boards and carpeting but other then that a real solid not dinged up aluminum boat.

Wow! Nice score, I love those boats. Great fishing set-up what with the trolling motor and all. Get a good battery set-up and you'll be good to go :winkingthumbsup"

Some bags and a wedge, it could have potential.

I am itching to get this thing out but with my schedule and my weekends with the big boat it will be hard to do anything on the weekends.

Nice looking boat. We have been trying to fish from the Yamaha but I think we need a smaller boat for that as well.

That's a cool little fishing boat. When I was in high school, my buddy had a Tracker 17 foot boat that looked almost exactly like that. His had a 60 horse merc on it and it would easily run high 40s. We caught a lot of bass off of that thing!

The oldest daughter and I took it out to an all electric lake the other day ( paddle power or trolling motor ) and caught some real nice bluegill. She is proud that she caught more then I did. :)

Get used to it, my daughters all routinely out fish me and they never let me forget about it! It is actually a very nice problem to have. :)

Depending on how far you are from your play/fish location... you might consider taking both for the weekend. We do that if we are taking 2 vehicles. Fish in the wee hours of the morning. Play until about 3:30-4PM in the afternoon and then go finish off the night after dinner fishing until the sun goes down.

For some of us the two are the same. Salmon fishing on the Columbia River. Two rods stacked on one downrigger placed in the table receiver on the swim deck. Maybe someday I'll have a picture with an actual fish in it. Please pay no attention to the bungee cords acting as a replacement to my lost bimini boot!
