Ok i am not sure if this is the right spot to ask this but is there any one lurking on here that want to be troller but cant afored to buy a boat but might be interested in a partnership in a troller that i am trying to put together , i have spent $4,000 ad can put $1,500 more of my own money into it and need a partner to $5,500 into it to finish it or i would sell it for what i have into it including morrage paid till July 1 and i would help in the labor part when i can if needed . oh info on the boat can be found on here posting newbies project.

I was in Westport last summer and stoped by your boat and took a look. I am in the market. And in about a year, plan on getting a boat right before I retire. I am not apposed to a partnership with the right person. And not to put you down, but she needs a lot of work. The labor of love kind. You will never get out what you will put into her trolling in Washington. She is to small for tuna but would make a good day boat out of like Neah Bay. I have been a diesel mechanic for 35 years and you are not going to rebuild that motor for 5000.00 dollars more like 10,000.00 thats just parts. Gear box I have no idea but it's not cheep. Troll permit for Washington if you can find one 20,000.00 , Radar VHS CB GPS Sonar and you have not put a gallon of paint on it yet. You can get a turn key wood boat in Oregon with a permit for 35,000.00 to 40,000.00 all day long. She is a cute boat and would be a little bull dog when she is done, but man she needs a lot of work. I wish you luck.

Sorry Kimberlyann I miss spoke. I don't know why but I was thinking you had a big block. Whats a 3-35 burn? Like 1/2 gal and hr. Cheep to run I am sure. I am going to be out of state next week hunting till Nov 20th when I get back maybe we can get togather and talk. I would like to hear whats your plans are.

Not sure what it will burn 1/2 gal hr on troll is prob close especialy since it has a narrow beam and round chine , one of the previus owners said it did 9.5 knots at 2800 rpm and the engine is rated for 3400 or 3600 rpm at no load , real screamers , well any way happy hunting .

good looking boat , mine also has 200 gal fuel but i see that boat has a hard chine and mine is a round chine which has less drag , mine also has a keel wing stabilizer .
