Triple axle Trailer is included....... 26' 2" long and 9' 6" wide.... Hours 315 +/- a few on both outboards. I will have the ECU's connected to the diag software to give you exact hrs if you are interested at sea trial.

Performance is great in my opinion..... Sea's in the area of 2' and 10/15 MPH wind she will cruise around 30MPH with 4/5 people on board, 125 gal of fuel, 150 lbs of ice, live well full (50 gal) and full of freshwater (20Gal). Running on the inter coastal in flat water with two people, I will get in the mid 50's top end. These are my experiences not the posted ones from Hydra Sport. Very east to navigate and to spin at dockside. easy to load on the trailer even in a cross wind.

I also have the front bow cushions that snap in for the buyer....they have been used once and stored inside.

If you would like additional pictures, I have them to send.

Gary

oops, I forgot the weight..... I think Hydra Sport posted it at 6200 lbs

I hope those new pictures will help answer any questions....I have more if needed.

I hope you still have her for another 30 days. I have to close on the house before I can buy a new toy. I'm very intrested though. What year are the motors I have been hearing some bad things so I want to do some more researching thanks.

GaryA · 01-31-2006, 09:19 AM

You never know about how long this one will last...... they are 2000 models

Yeah, I heard the same thing when I was looking and purchased it but, I saw where it had been taken care of so well I decided to give it a chance. I have been a loyal OMC owner for years and they have not let me down yet. I did have a couple of check engine lights come on after getting it but, it never let me down. I was informed that the ECU's would need an update so, I had them complete both of them immediately. Not another issue at all afterwards. I know there were some bad ones out there that have created some bad taste's for some folks but, these run perfect! And for that matter, if you look long enough, you will find someone with a bad experience with every brand outboard on the market.

HAHA Happy Daze, edited again

Fichts have been given a bad name by people that have never owned them usually. I love mine. I have had problems but the problems have been fixed. THey run clean, quiet and are good on gas. I have 640 hours on mine as of this weekend.

bump for a very nice boat ....which happens to be just like mine

RickO · 01-31-2006, 02:43 PM

Nice boat. Very clean!

GaryA · 01-31-2006, 03:17 PM

Thanks for the great comments guys. The covered storage is the ticket for keeping it so nice and that was a deciding factor prior to buying it, I had to have covered storage. I am a Service and Parts Director for Toyota and I am very meticulous about anything I own. From keeping it clean to having every detail of maintenance performed when its due. Actually I have found myself doing maintenance prior to it being due. I guess as a Service guy in the automotive field, I have to practice what I preach!!

Nice boat Gary. Any ideas on fuel burn? Also, what do you tow it with?

WildLines · 02-02-2006, 08:39 PM

I remeber when you got that boat, you sure have taken good care of her....someone is going to get a great boat.

Out of Curiosity why are you getting rid of her?

Not sure on the fuel burn as I don't have a flow gauge so, I really don't want to guess. I normally run at 3600-3800 RPM and I can be 30 miles out fishing all day and come back with a good bit of my fuel still in the tank after putting in $100. I tow it with a GMC 2500 HD 6.0L Gas. It does a great job....also I have pulled it with a GMC Suburban 1500 and it did a great job.
