watsonsag Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I am a multi-species fisherman with most emphasis on walleyes. I am lookin to upgrade from my current boat to a 1998 Northwoods fisherman. Its my uncles boat and he has always kept her indoors when not in use. She appears to be in good shape. I was just curious if I should get it and if theres any problems to expect with it? If anyone has had one or ever been in one whats your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 My dad bought a 1467 with a 15 evinrude tiller new in 94 and still has it today. Nice open layout and trolls nice. The boat has been really good to us, the only problem we ever had were minor wiring issues. my only complaint is the motor is undersized, its rated for a 25.

Jarrod32 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I have a Northwood 1467. Mine has a 20 HP tiller; plenty of power when there is just one person in the boat, underpowered for three. It is a nice, open layout. Easy to fish out of. It is a bit narrower than I would sometimes like, but still a good boat. Also very easy to launch/load.Mine is a 1997, and is still in very good shape; no problems to speak of with this boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
