Due to lack of use since we got the 230, the 171 is regretfully for sale - I've probably put more time on it in the driveway than in the water over the last two years. I'm located in Greenville, SC which is just off of I-85 between Charlotte and Atlanta. Asking $6,000. I would like to see this one go to someone as anal as me I can be reached at 864 918 8221
1991 171 Standard - originally a tender to a Hatteras MY - mostly freshwater for the last 6 years I've had the boat - stored indoors for the last 3 years - covered prior to that during my ownership - new flip back cooler seat in 2005 - still in great shape - new cushions in 2005 - still in great shape - Standard Horizon Phantom VHF new in 2006 - Digital 8 ft Antenna new in 2006 - Dual Marine Stereo CD with Polyplanar cover - has I-pod hookup - Eagle Seacharter GPS/Fishfinder Combo - GPS works well but I believe the fishfinder needs a new transducer ($125). I would suggest upgrading to a color unit. - new stainless bow chocks 2009 - new switches in the last several years - all electrical items work - I just removed and reinstalled the bow rail to make sure it was sealed properly - all looked good. - it is extremely clean and relatively unmolested for an 18 year old boat - there are some nicks a scratches here and there as one might expect for a boat of this vintage. 1992 Yamaha 90 (title says 1994 but it's a 1992) - hours unknown due to no meter - extremely reliable and has never not started or left me stranded - new factory lower unit in 2007 - new plugs, water fuel separator, gear lube every year I've owned - only use semi-synthetic oil since I've owned - decarb every year using seafoam since I've owned - compression reading from several weeks ago is: 112, 105, 110 - I run for at least 20 minutes every month on the trailer if not used on the water that month - there is one bolt broken off the thermostat cover but after installing a new thermostat with gasket and gasket sealant, it has never leaked and I would not expect it to going forward Magic Tilt aluminum trailer - overall in really good condition - regularly grease the hubs - tires in decent condition - probably should replace within the next 12 months - new winch strap
