14' Alumacraft Fishing boat with 15hp outboard, trolling motor - Ashland, KY
Description
This is a very well cared for and well loved fishing boat that belonged to my father. It is in very good condition and has always been garage stored and it has seen more than it's share of 5+ lbs bass and big musky. It hasn't been used for about the past 8 years, but was stored correctly and looks like it was just out yesterday.
The Boat - This boat is a 1940's (I think, it belonged to my grandfather before my dad had it) Alumacraft 14 foot semi V hull. It is very stable my father added a flat plywood floor with carpet over it to make it easier to stand and cast. He built boxes to hold the gas tank and two batteries, one for the trolling motor and one for main motor that hold them securely in place during transport. The boat comes with oars, running lights, seat cushions, an old depth finder and a couple of batteries and extra tank if you want them.
The Trailer - The trailer is a 1970's Highlander trailer that is solid as a rock. The wiring is good and it has sealed hubs on the wheels. There is also a spare mounted on the trailer and it has been fitted with a winch to pull the boat onto the trailer. Dad kept a battery in the truck and would just hook the winch power clips onto it and pull the boat on.
The Motors - The main motor is a Johnoson 15 hp from the early 1980's. It has plenty of power and will plane this boat without any problem. I'm not sure how fast it will go but I can tell you that it will really move the boat. The boat also comes with a Stealth trolling motor. I don't know as much about this as Dad bought it right before he had to quit fishing.
Dad made a lot of modifications to the boat and trailer to make it easier to get in and out of the water and to fish from. He fished by himself in it well into his 70's so it must have worked. I am open to offers so submit them and we will see I am also listing this boat locally so this auction may get ended early
***I do have an offer locally for the boat, but I am going to let the auction finish. If it doesn't sell, it will not be relisted. Thanks.***
