MJBaldwin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Found this boat on HSO-Classifieds but dont know if its worth the money wondering what your thoughts are guys! He is asking 1100 for it with a 1988 40 HP Evinrude with tilt and trim and lifetime license on the trailer. The problem is that the 88 Eveirude has a bad cycender in it... Think it would be a hard fix for an average guy? or is it not worth tackling.?Thanks Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 What model boat? I have an '87 Backtroller. It's not a bad boat. Doesn't leak a drop, which is pretty amazing considering I have been known to bump into things on the river on occasion. The one thing I dislike is that the bow sits pretty high, which makes it catch a lot of wind and swing around when anchored. And it likes to porpoise if you get too trim happy (mines got a 60 HP Merc on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I have a 1998 Sylvan Adventurer 1600 with 90hp Johnson and I like it. Been a fine boat for me. Handles rough water well, plenty of room, with lots of storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
