silver one Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 Yes so to speek I want a smaller boat. 18 to no more then 19ft with 4stroke outboard.We have a cabin on a small lake up north and I dont want to pull my kids around in my 18' John boat anymore. I have it set up for pan fishing and duck hunting and everytime they want to tube I have to pull stuff on and off so it does not get broke. I also want a boat that trailers a little better. Put on 2 riggers and run the rest copper lead and wire.I have been looking at makos,cobias,polars,keywest,lunds and crestliners. But it doesnot make much sense to buy another boat while I currenly own 3. want to get one boat that does all except the duckhunting part. I have a 12' john boat that I actually like better because the bigger john boat is harder to get where i want to hunt. I use to think bigger is better but now that Im older I want smaller and more convieninet and less work to take care of.
spoonfed Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 I hear ya, I sold my 18' lund alaskan when we got the big boat. What a bonehead move!
Josey_Wales Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Man I wish I had money... One day. Im sure that boat will make someone very happy. Im a good dishwasher if your feeling generous. =)

silver one Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 Looking for a cheap boat check craigslist.whats the old saying,You get what you pay for?
silver one Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Going to start putting this boat back together for spring this weekend.Three weeks and The boat will be ready for whoever wants to buy it and go right to the lake and start fishing.
Claremont7 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I am very interested in the boat . But I dont want the riggers or electronics. Is that a possible option?
silver one Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Sorry! but the boat goes as a whole package or not at all. everything on it is pretty new. Being that I only want $7500 for it all I would say that is one hell of a deal.
sslopok Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Joe,Is the boat's idle problem going to be fixed when you sell it? I have been kickin around selling my Lund. What's the shallowest this boat can get around? Have a place on houghton lake and it is quite shallow by the house(like knee deep).Thanks,Brandon
silver one Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 I had the idle problem fixed I belive. Ran it 10 miles south out of southaven last trip I took last year and had no issues. But I have been on houghton lake and this boat is a bit much for that lake . The boat drafts 26 inches of water with the lower unit. so 30 inches is pushing it.
sslopok Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks for your honesty. I think it all comes down to a good boat for big water, is not going to be a good boat for Houghton. I do have a 14 footer that has a 9.5 horse so maybe eventually the wife will let me upgrade. Love your boat though. Always liked ther setup of islanders.Brandon
