2001 Johnson 135 Ocean Runner
Fresh LU oil and plugs yesterday.
Runs perfect, always flushed.
Oil injected(just filled tank)
Great motor for this boat. Runs over 50 mph and jumps up on plane.
Trailer:
1997 Loadrite roller trailer.
New hubs
Great conditon and perfect for those shallow ramps.
"Book" value is around $12,000 boat/motor/trailer.
Asking $10,500 for everything you will need to drive straight to the ramp and splash her.
(Possible partial trade for SOT kayak, canoe, or small jon boat with 9.9HP motor.)
I don't "need" to sell her, but would like to downsize since I recently moved to within a few blocks of a resevoir with a 10HP restriction. The local HOA doesn't allow me to keep her at the house and I'm not a fan of storage fees. So, I would like to get something smaller for my time here.
This boat has proven to be a great family and fishing boat. She runs fast and is very stable with an 8' beam. This is also a dry, dry boat. The high freeboard keeps my two young kids onboard also! Transom cleats are perfect to hook up the Y rope for skiing, wakeboarding, or tubing.
Post any questions, and I will have pics up soon. Thanks for reading.
No you're in thre right place, and that is a good look little cc you have there. Now you just have to wait for the right buyer, and the market is very soft right now.
Ok, I've been gone almost all summer and only fished once.
I have run the boat a couple times to make sure everything is running well and the gas is fresh. I would really like to downsize so i can get my yak before the fall.
NEW PRICE $9800/OBO (Includes the Eagle 480DF fishfinder)
I am on a crazy schedule right now, but will do my best to show the boat and get you out on a test ride. If all else fails, we hook up the muffs and run the motor so you can see that it runs flawlessly.
ALSO...if you are local and want to learn about catching some Potomac River catfish and stripers, we can work that out and I'll show you some of my spots on the river.
I'd be interested if you weren't so far away (I'm in Louisiana). By the way, I saw a boat almost exactly like yours last week for sale here in LA (same motor and everything) and it only lasted a day at $10,500.
I am definitely not much of a model....even thought the wife's a professional photographer...ha
DRED I'd drive it to you for 10,500 and a trip out in the Gulf! It is definitely a great boat for fishing. I'm getting ready to get out of the military and we are reducing expenses, otherwise I wouldn't even try to sell it. If it doesn't sell, it won't break my heart.
I'll get some more pics shortly. It's a pretty standard console and I mounted the FF behind the cup holders. The front seat has two level storage with plenty of room for a 12 or 24 volt battery setup to run a trolling motor.
I have not, but I have been on the lower Potomac when I probably should not have been. The wind was howling against the tide and the waves were whitecapping at a few feet.
I couldn't run fast, but I made it home without feeling worried about the boat making it.
I would take it off the beach without any reservation. It does have a good amount of freeboard and enough flare to run dry.
