Looking for a good 17' flats boat, good top, aluminun trailer with at least a 90 h.p., 2 stoke motor. Gotta get in close to get into Steve's trout hole. Cupcake

It's not an aluminum trailer but it's a heck of a deal.

I knew sooner or later you and Littlejohn would get tired of fishing from afar.
I will rent Downtime to you for a net man.

You are toooooo funny. just wait, the club is going to have to buy a new scale to weigh all the big fat trout we bring in with our new boat. Maybe we will need a net man after all. See ya next month. :smt006

Here's my pitch. Doesn't quite fit your description but it is the lowest priced option given so far.

2001 Seastrike 160cc flats boat, 2001 Yamaha 60 hp 2-stroke outboard (less than 50 hours) and 2001 Continental galvanized trailer. This is a nice little flats boat with a poling platform at the stern and a raised casting platform at the bow. Garmin depth finder and a new ICOM vhf. Bilge pump, live wells and dual batteries with switch. Trolling motor bracket on bow (trolling motor not included) where you can use a standard transom mount trolling motor (much cheaper than a bow mount unit). Two trolling motor plug receptacles at bow, one to dedicated trolling motor battery and the other to the dual battery bank (3 batteries total) so you can troll all day long. New jack stand and spare tire and mount. Only thing wrong is the lexan windshield was broken by a falling limb. Priced reduced to $6,400.

You can see some pics by going to the CL listing for it: http://tallahassee.craigslist.org/boa/1633864097.html

Call 850-566-1713 for more details.

It will be like a brand new boat.
There has never been any fish slime in it.
