Very funny, why would anyone want to buy a boat that they just started building in the 60's.... When you can have a Skeeter...  ;D Just stiring it up a little  ;)

I'm asked $28K - I've been keeping all the components and electronics updated. It isn't far off to the items that they rig the boats with brand new today for $60-70K.
It isn't your fixer upper that you'll want or need to change much but rather a boat that has many recent upgrades.

This was at the GLB spring tournament a couple years ago... I hadn't upgraded the trolling motor yet...

Got out in the garage and checked the smartgauge - the motor has 180 hours on it.
Love the smartgauge - put that on last year. Really configurable and you can show just about anything that the engine or the lowrance are transmitting over the network.

I have a friend in my local club interested - I'll know from him in mid February if he is going to pull the trigger.

Got my eye on a 2013 Ranger z520c but the basscats are awesome boats!

The boat is SOLD.

I'll be buying Kim Stricker's boat from this last season. It is heading to the Ranger factory to get the carpeting and decals removed.

Hope to have it in time for the Madwags tournament.
