All spring I have been working construction at the new Wynn Las Vegas and have done no fishing. On the other hand the checking account is healthy. Fair exchange? I don’t know.
What I’d like to do now is sell my little 12 ft Sears fiberglass boat to someone on the forum who needs and will use it. The hull is from about 1979 (4 ft beam) and I have reinforced it with West systems epoxy and cloth (inside and outside); keel tape on all the wear points and aluminum plate on the transom to support the thrust of a 15 hp Gamefisher 2 stroke outboard.
The boat is a car topper or you could find an inexpensive trailer and tow it. It is light enough to go on a Yakima Rack system. I built a wood casting deck for the bow area. It has a bow mounted MinnKota 35lb thrust trolling motor and a Hummingbird wide screen depth finder with bow mount for the transducer. Included are 6 gallon plastic gas tank, life jacket, typeIV cushion, small anchor, working deep cycle battery, running lights, spare prop kit for the Gamefisher and a flushing attachment.
I don’t need the money, but I’d just like to get rid of it to someone who wants a first boat, striper fishes in the wash or fishes the small lakes in Utah. Because it is fiberglass it is very quiet. I’ve used it quite successfully at Willow Beach to stalk the large stripers; you can stand and cast the large plugs or troll nicely with the trolling motor and upstream with the Gamefisher. It will plane about 25 mph with one person aboard.
The motor has been maintained by Bob Bradley Marine in Las Vegas and I have all the service records; usually starts in one or 2 pulls. Just before I bought the Skeeter I changed the water impeller.
Last year I wanted $750. Now I am asking $550 for it only to members of this forum or the AC Plug forum and I offer an “on the water test” before purchasing. I will only sell it complete. If you are under 21, I might consider a "time payment" plan depending on the circumstances.
Contact me here by replying or send me a private message.
