Here is the deal..........

I just bought a RiverPro and do not have room to bring home my new boat until this one is gone.

There were two potential issues that I had planned to deal with this spring, but that was before I decided to buy a new boat. So I am going to sacrifice this package at more than $1500 less than I feel it's worth since there is a little bit of risk to the buyer.

First the floor in the boat needs replaced. The positive is that the new owner gets to make it however they want...or they can just deal with some squishy wood.

Second, the motor was having an issue this fall with wanting to come out of reverse. Forward was fine, but to keep it in reverse I had to hold the shift lever. There is some adjustment for this linkage and I made the adjustments......but was not able to test it out under load since there isn't any open water. Best case is the problem is already fixed. Worst case is that the clutch dog is worn beyond the extent of the linkage adjustment. I got a formal quote for a new clutch dog for around $500. Or you could use the repair manual and order just the clutch dog and tackle it yourself for some cost in between $0 and $500.

I bought this boat for $2400 and put over $500 into it this year for accessories which are all included.

I will sacrifice as is for $1500. (I dare anyone to find a better deal on a 16 foot boat with a 1990 or newer 40 HP motor....)

Pictures are on my work computer and I will post on Monday

Boat is located in Prior Lake.

This is a great mid sized boat that will allow you to fish small and big waters alike.

The motor alone is darn near worth what John is asking for this package.

We caught some huge fish out of that boat this year!

I know John is just being as honest as possible, but to me the reverse wasn't even that big of a deal. It still worked, just a little finicky, and we barely used it anyways.

This will make a great boat for someone.

This sounds like it could be a great boat... Can't wait to see some pictures as soon as you can get them online...

Thanks for throwing those up Darren. The bow mount in the top two pics.....was a piece of crud. It was quickly removed along with the cheesy deck it was on. This boat was is better with a transom mount anyway. The boat pulled my daughters tubing a few times this summer and was plenty fast for them. But if you have kids over about 80 pounds, don't expect to be able to pull them off the tube with a 40HP. The last pic shows the bow mount gone and the new seat I put up front (also included). There is also a swivel seat for the driver that is not pictured.

Hey, I fished in that boat and yes, it does catch fish. Maybe John will offer some GPS cords for those secret hog locations also.

The boat works well and is worth the cash.

Is there a live well with it?

[wastewaterguru]

Nope...just storage in the two halves of the middle bench.

Looks like a nice boat...couple of ?'s

Is this a pull start or electric start motor?

How wide is the boat? How deep from floor to siderails?

[wastewaterguru]

It is electric start.

65 inch beam and 48 at the floor

Not sure of side height but I would guess around 20 to 24 inches.

I spent some time today cleaning her out and getting it ready to go. I found the extra prop although the reason I got a new one was because I think the hub was spun. Also found the manual for the depthfinder....and one paddle.
