(You REALLY Must see this boat to Appreciate its New Condition)
My good friend and neighbor, Eric, has asked me if I might do the Boat Trader listing for him. He turned 87 on Thursday, and his health just doesn?t allow him to manage a boat anymore. He has been involved with boats most of his life, and his attention to quality is unsurpassed. He has taken this boat to ?absolute showroom condition? and it is pristine and beautiful with every aspect. Eric has spent nearly three years in restoration, and it would be impossible to list all that he has done to restore the boat. New professionally applied marine paint, a totally rebuilt stern drive (including brand new bellows), new carpeting and upholstery throughout, all new premium gauges (tack, fuel, amps, etc.) all are complimented by the new Matrix 12 Hummingbird. All controls have as well been rebuild for seamless shifting. Add to this that new 2012 Tohatsu 9.8 , 4 cycle, trolling motor ($1879 US plus tax, , mounted on a premium GAR motor mount ($269. US plus tax), battery box, all new cables, SS-bolts, SS-screws, etc? and you will start to get the picture.
Eric also has rebuilt his H.D. Easy Loader trailer, replete with new tires, wiring, lights, auto bumpers guards, new carpeted bunk guides and slip plates for easy on/off loading. The trailer even has a new electric wench! Eric has well over $10,000 (excluding labour) invested in this boat, and because of his failing health has reduced the price for immediate sale. Please call after 10:00 am daily.
