The motors - This boat has a 75 hp Force by Mercury (2 stroke) and 75 hp is the maximum amount of rated horsepower for this boat. It has been a great motor with no problems during my ownership. I just had the boat checked out by Specialty Marine in Oxnard and had brand new starter installed. The boat was given a clean bill of health. Depending on the amount of people/gear this boat will do around 35 mph. The trolling motor is a Motorguide with 56 lbs of thrust and is on a 12/24 system. The boat was originally set up as a 12 volt system but I fished lakes with lots of wind and needed a more powerful motor that could last a full day on full power. I also upgraded the wiring to 6 gauge wire for less loss of battery power. (Originally the boat was set up with 10 gauge).
Issues - This boat is showing its age a bit and some of the decals are fading and the dash is discoloring a bit. The trailer has some spots of rust but it's only cosmetic and it could possibly use re carpeting. The boat also needs a new set of deep cycle batteries as they haven't been used in about 9 month and I believe they are dead. The livewell pump also needs replacement if you are planning on using the livewells, it's a cheap fix but I stopped tournament fishing and had no need for livewells. This is a great boat the way it is but if you wanted to put a little time and money in to it it could be stunning.
The price is $2500
The boat is located in Santa Barbara, CA
