Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

I posted this one a while back, but this guy has had this boat up for sale for quite a while, he couldn't get any one interested with the new motor and outdrive, so now he split them apart. Yeah you would have to put a transom in it to accept a brackect, but figure he spent a ton of money fixing the rest of the boat up to accept that new engine and drive, the rest of the boat should be worth it

Just found this one, ready for a motor

no price given, and I know where a good deal on a Yamaha 200 is sitting

That one there wouldn't be a step up from his V-20, that is one of the older low deadrise hulls with the low gunnels.

Before I fell in love with you guys... I mean V20's... I was looking at Shamrock's. *How do they hold up?

It's more than you want to spend MJ but here is one with the coveted pilothouse:

For some reason, I can't get the whole URL to come up as a working link. *It does work if you copy and paste the whole thing into the address bar.

A buddy of mine has a Shamrock 20, the sides are shorter than some Jon boats I've seen. And they have fiberglass fuel tanks (ie: don't work with ethanol).

But I love the Pilot House idea.

not sure if any of these would be better than the V, but I'm running short of ideas for your price range

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

mj, I put in a call to the mako at the 516 # and the guy said the "salesman" I need to speak to was not in. I asked to be transferred to his voicemail and left a message for him. That's about as far as I got :-/

This one here looks to share similiar lines to the FORMULA and BERTRAMS. They're a FLORIDA built boat, regarded pretty well down here.
