16ft Starcraft Mariner for sale - SOLD

Post by guitarfisher » Thu Jul 26, 2012 10:31 am

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).
Specs:
1976 Starcraft Mariner, 16ft, aluminium (riveted, but watertight)
65hp Mercury with electric choke, thunderbolt ignition, power tilt, and 12V starting battery
55lb thrust Minn Kota Power Drive V2 bow-mount trolling motor with Auto Pilot, cable-connected foot control, and battery-mating quick disconnect
12V Interstate deep cycle marine battery with 60A in-line breaker and motor-mating quick disconnect (a solid, reliable, well-maintained battery for the Minn Kota)
Humminbird 597ci HD fish finder with GPS
2 anchors with ~90ft of line each; 18lb and 15lb
2 Fish-On rod holders
1 Scotty rod holder mount
2 manual downriggers with 3lb balls, snubbers, clips and 100ft of line each
2 swivel seats, plus space for portable chairs/stools
COBRA handheld marine VHF radio with dash mount
Bow and anchor lights (bow bulb needs to be replaced)
Bilge pump
Dash mounted compass
Safety equipment: 1 floatation cushion, 2 PFD's, fire extinguisher
6 gallon gas can
Boarding ladder
Vinyl-covered rear sun deck with drink holders (homemade deck, ~5ft x 3ft, mounts aft between the gunwales with stowage space underneath)
1976 E-Z Loader trailer with good, well-maintained tires, spare, wheel bearing buddy set, and waterproof LED tail lights. The trailer has some light external surface rust, but is mechanically sound. The hitch takes a 2-inch ball.

**SOLD**
