Found a '90 smokercraft fazer 171 with a '83 90 horse evin. on the back. I am not that familiar with the early 80's evinrude, are they/were they good motors or just a hassel. The place I found it at wants 4300 for it, of course the tires on the trailer are seriously bad, but it does have a less than 5 year old trolling motor and a 2 year old depth finder and a flasher on the motor.
I want to know if this era of motors were worth their salt or not......
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.
