Ok, after 2 days on the 'berry with the new boat I'm impressed. Runs much better than even I dared expect, without any problems other than a minor wiring issue with the fishfinder. Even the 1978 9.9hp troller that came with it is like brand new and works great. Add the remote troll and I was in heaven...other than the fact that I couldn't get the fish to hit my gear.
Now I just need to sell off the older boat as I don't need 2 in the driveway. I may just wait until spring, but if anyone knows of someone wanting a boat, it is a 1973 ArrowGlass modified tri-hull, 17.5' long, open bow, 135hp Evinrude on the back.
The boat is in good shape, with new seats and carpet a couple of years ago. Engine runs amazingly smooth and will troll down around 1.6-2.0mph, which is amazing for a 2 stroke motor that large. It does have a mount for a trolling motor, though. Asking $1800 obo. If you want to pay $1900 I'll throw in a 1990 6hp Johnson troller with the boat. Also a great motor. (NO, I will not sell the troller alone for $100. That price is only if it is sold with the boat at $1900)
Anyway, I will be putting a post on the 'for sale' board shortly and will hopefully add a photo, too.
