Dual axle galvanized trailer rebuilt 3 years ago with new brakes (Tie Down) and new springs. Put in saltwater 6 times since and always backed into fresh water lake repeatedly after salt water use. Really good radial tires (maybe 6,000 miles) with never used spare. Boat tie down straps included.
This boat is well built. Do not know the hours on the engine but it has plenty left. It has never failed to start or stranded me. It has had regular de-carbs and fresh gear lube and plugs. Fuel is about 2.5 MPG, heavy load, 4000 RPM at 29 – 31 MPH. Light load about 2.8 – 2.9 MPG at 33-34 MPH at 4200 RPM. 39 MPH at 4900 RPM burning 2 MPG. I have put maybe 150 hours on it since I bought it 3 years ago. I have been 60 miles off shore with no concerns at all. It is a very good fresh water/salt water boat as is will pull skiers pretty good and can be hauled to the coast to do some serious fishing. Selling because I bought a larger boat.
x2, good lookin boat. How do like the gunwale mounted riggers?
Thanks RumBum!
I have only used them on a couple of trips and they were not the hassel I thought they would be. Only ran 1 rod from each without the top section extended. I pivoted them aft aft when running and they stowed very nicely. I have a pair of Taco fixed position, rotating t-top mounts that I was going to put on but bought another boat. I would let them go with the boat if the buyer wanted them.
Thanks JKO! I was in Dothan last week. I could have meet you there with the boat! Seriously, I do go to south Alabama quite a bit so let me know if you or one of your buddies is interested. Heck, I might even bring it to PC for you if you can put us on some fish!
I only get to take it to the gulf twice a year so while it isn't a fresh water boat it isn't exposed to salt water very much and thoroughly de-salted after each trip. Messing around with it in the drive way kind of takes the edge off of not being able to go fishing as much as I would like to.
eddy,
Just picked up a 210 fisherman last week, lol. Almost exactly the same though yours is cleaner and set-up with more goodies. I can probably put you on some trout and reds. Have not had much time for fishin lately though. Good luck with the sale.
Who built the t-top? Clean looking boat at a great price!
Thanks patrickg!!!!
Not sure but it was built by whoever supplies Polar with t - tops. I was looking for a t-top to replace the bimini at a reasonable price. I drove by the Polar plant in Cullman when it was still opened and figured they may have a scratch and dent or something. Sure enogh they has this t-top they didn't need. I had a local guy alter it to fit and it worked out pretty good. Notice in the pictures that there is a section added to the front legs. I was going to polish them up but haven't done it yet. The front legs curve out beside the front console seat and make a great hand hold while under way.
The t-top is wider at the back and extends back just beyond the seats. It blocks a lot of sun but doesn't interfere with fishing any more than other t-tops. By blocking more sun this boat could actually keep you from getting skin cancer and save your life! OK, that's over kill but you get the idea.
Thanks for the compliments, interest and PM's guys!
I was going to install these Taco outrigger bases on it but my newer boat already has them so I will throw them in. They are new in the box with the plastic wrapping still on them. Also included is a pair of reducer bushings so you can use 1 1/8" poles. You will need plates and probably shims to get them level.
Oops! I noticed the starboard seat in the pictures was one of the originals and not the "newer" one I mentioned. I have both original seats and 2 newer ones. The newer starboard seat is a tad smaller and the bottom cushion is somewhere between Birmingham and Gulf Shores on the side of I-65.
Forgot to mention it has a racor filter with the clear bowl and valve so you can drain any water in it without having to remove the filter. Also the the tongue jack gears have been replaced recently so it works well. 2 extra used hubs with bearings are also included for spares.
Picked up the boat yesterday. Whew! This was a deal! Boat is in GREAT shape and everything works GREAT. Thanks again for the ability to test drive. Whoever else was interested in this boat - you missed out on a great boat! Hooray Me!

The first day of the two happiest days of owning a boat... Just kidding. Congrats! Looks like you got a great deal!
