I'm looking a purchasing a new (to me) boat and would like your feedback as to whether it's a decent deal. Here's the specs:
Alumacraft 1998 Tournament Pro 170. I don't know if it's a CS or not. What's the difference? Anyway, it's powered by a Yamaha 4-stroke 115 hp motor, which is a 2000 yr model, has a 1998 Yamaha 9.9 hp 4-stroke elec. start kicker, 24 volt Minnkota Maxxum trolling motor, 2 gel cell batteries which are supposed to be the new good kind which he claims are $150 apiece, on-board charger, 2 Lowrance x-75 graphs, Shorelander bunk trailer, Eagle gps, custom cover, 3 props of which two are stainless, and more that I can't remember right now.
I haven't seen it yet, but he claims it's in great shape. He's asking $14,000. How does that sound? Thanks for the feedback.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
