I have a job change and household move coming up, so I’m looking to sell my boat and plan to upgrade in the near future. This is the boat I bought from Matt (long-time WA Lakes member) about 2 years ago, so this ad may look familiar (I copied and pasted some of Matt’s original posting). The main difference between then and now is I took off the 3hp Merc kicker and installed a Minn Kota bow-mount trolling motor. I also upgraded the fish finder to a newer model Humminbird. The boat is equipped with side console control and is powered by a 3-cylinder carburetted two stroke 65hp Mercury 650 Thunderbolt with power tilt and electric choke. The old Thunderbolt is a bit of a cold starter, but will fire right up with a full battery charge – and then go forever when warmed up. I have run this rig in fresh water only. The boat registration and tag is good through June 2013; the trailer is good through July 2013. I have clear titles for both the boat and trailer.
I’m asking $3,000 for the packaged rig, which is currently located at my place in Mountlake Terrace. Send me (Jeff Wagner) a message or email jwagner225@msn.com if interested. I also have more pics available that I can email (limited to 3 pics in this posting).

55lb thrust Minn Kota Power Drive V2 bow-mount trolling motor with Auto Pilot, cable-connected foot control, and battery-mating quick disconnect
