This is a repost because when I tried to renew the ad I accidentally deleted it, so I've updated it. I also deleted the posts with questions, so please either repost your questions, PM or email me.
This add is for the boat & blind only. With the first ad I had some inquiries about the motor as well and that is available if interested. I would like to trade the boat & blind for something of equal value or sell it outright for $400 or best offer. The boat has fore / aft running lights, 12 volt outlets and a hard mounted bilge. The lights & bilge are wired to a switch box. All the wiring, outlets and bilge are 2 seasons old. There is also a bracket on the front for a removable light pole and a small 12 volt light to hang from it during early morning set-ups. The boat also has 4 brackets mounted for stabilizing poles. The boat no longer has fast grass on it, I switched it to burlap last fall so I could ghillie camo it. The boat is currently at my cabin in Alpena but can be brought to my home in Macomb twp.
The previous owner added a wood riser to the transom to raise the engine, I used my short shaft 18 hp Merc. on it with no problems. As off last fall, it had no leaks.
If interested in the motor, it is a 1982 18hp Mercury short shaft. For preventative maintenance in 2004 I had the lower end gone through. I had the service center replace the water pump, prop shaft, seal kit & roller bearing. There are also 2 props, one has been reconditioned. I used to use a metal gas tank until debris from it screwed up the carb. a couple months ago. I then found a original NEW (not rebuilt) carb. in Massachusetts and had it installed, the motor starts on the 2nd pull.The compression was checked and is good. Since 2004 I have $1,130 in new parts & labor invested into the engine alone. I have all the receipts for verification.
Again, I'll trade for the boat & blind or the whole package. Boat & blind= $400, equal trade or best offer. Boat, Blind & motor= $1,600 or trade for either a mud motor or newer short shaft 25hp out board for my new duck boat. NOTE: I will make up any difference out of my pocket for the right motor.
This is a long add, but the more info I can provide should answer some questions up front. - See More Here: http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=5050
