FOR SALE: 1977 Ranger Bass Boat with 1978 115 HP Mercury outboard.
I am the 3rd owner of this boat and I have enjoyed it for 4 years it is in great condition! I hate to part with this trusty vessel, but because of a motorcycle accident I can no longer easily board and disembark. I will be using a pontoon from this point forward.
The boat will sell as you see it apart from my personal tackle and accessories.
Trailer is an 1980 model “Little Dude” with tires and spare about 3 years old. I have pulled this boat to almost every major body of water in East Tennessee and South Georgia the weight behind the truck is almost unnoticeable, and the trailer has no sway or vibration at interstate speeds.
