SOLD - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Tandem Assassin · 08-06-2018, 12:58 PM

I am selling my 1997 17' Aquasport CC. I purchased the boat 3 seasons ago from a retired man in Needles, CA. Up into that point the boat had never been in salt water and had 100 hours on it.

Boat is in immaculate condition with no gel coat cracks. Last August I installed two new batteries (starter & main), new VHF radio, new steering cable, lower end serviced, and new Simrad GO7 XSE. Boat also has a Pacific Edge bait tank - holds a full scoop. Also put new rims & tires on the trailer!

ADDED: FORGOT TO MENTION - BOAT HAS NICE BIMINI TOP AS WELL....ALSO COMES WITH LIFE JACKETS, ANCHOR, ROPE & CHAIN, GAFFS MOUNTED ON SIDE, FIRE EXTINGUISHER, PADDLE, BAIT NET, AND THROW CUSHION, AND BATTERY CHARGER. THE COMES COMES FULL OF GAS AND IS TURN KEY - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND ON PENNY TO GO OUT...

This beauty fits in your garage, holds 20 gallons, gets 4 mph, cost $100 to take out for the day, and is maintenance free except sparks plugs every 100 hrs.

You won't find a better fishing platform then this one..

Boat has always been serviced at Advance Marine at 139 E 16th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627. They told me that the Evinrude 2-stroke engine was the best engine ever made as there are no electronics and the only maintenance is spark plugs and a yearly lower unit oil change.

I pack 2 five gallon gas cans and go to the 209, 182, 226, ect. She is a fishing machine!

That's a lot of boat to squeeze into a foot and a half...

Nice! I think that is the next step for me.

Keep it in a dry dock or in a slip. Have it ready to go at a moments notice.

So Im looking to purchase a fishing boat but am doing serious homework first. My previous boat was a 21' bayliner open bow and took it to lakes/rivers but only about 5 times in the ocean.

What do you mean by this? I pack 2 five gallon gas cans and go to the 209, 182, 226, ect. She is a fishing machine! Im guessing gas cans are used for fuel instead of a fuel tank and the numbers are hot spots just off shore??? I prefer a boat capable of going to Catalina or other local islands.

Extra fuel is extended range. Halfway thru the day you pour the fuel from cans into main tank. Rule of thumb on a boat is 1/3 of your fuel to get there, 1/3 to get home and 1/3 in reserve

I second that thought. Been drooling at the thought of this boat.

I would so buy that if my car was rigged for towing. Really tempting though.
