TurboRust Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I've been looking for a fish and ski boat 80% fish 20% ski/cruise/chill. Got ahold of the guy thursday night down in Kentucky. original owner from 1993, ODC maintenance freak...awesome guy, had to sell due to liver failure and no health care, sad story. But came with a couple sets of skis, 2 tubes, ski poles and ropes for both, full bimini top with zip in side glass and back. 150hp evenrude, did about 47mph with 4 of us in it today water testing the boat. will do 53-54 with a single person. Heres us loaded up ready to leave the beautiful Cave Run Lake down in KY. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=661&pictureid=5297 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Did you put a GPS on her? Boat speedos are notorious for being way off unless you have an adjustable one that you can calibrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Yeah I was using my phone which I've checked against my how and car speedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 how much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking? My mother inlaw is in the market for a boat and she doesn't know if she wants a pontoon, or a boat like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I paid 5500 due to its history and condition... Similar boats go for 4500 with owners and no history maintenance and so on. I feel it was a fair price, roomy for tve wife and kid, but still very functional to fish out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRD2BDF Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Out in the lake This. Fat floats therefore fatties will float. At least, hypothetically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 5500 ouch. :lolguy: x2 enjoy bud multifunction bass boats are pricey... bass boat you get 2-3 seats...ski boat i couldnt easily mount a trolling motor to and no front deck normally.. this is the best of both worlds, not a race boat but fast enough to cool you off across the lake.

Cave Run is an amazing lake isn't it? I have been going there yearly since I was 4 months old. It is the only lake that I enjoy more than Cumberland. Mostly because the camping is unbeatable. Headed there in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
