       If any of you remember my Post on support forum I lost my long time fishing buddy Richard. He had me on transfer upon death on his boats. It was his wish for me to dispose and  the funds will be going to his Widow Annette.  This will not even touch the outstanding bills but we are going to attempt to make a divot in it. 

   So this is what we have. A 2001 Express all weld boat. It has the gear track . A 2005 Mercury two stroke Jet 20 HP . Sticker 20 Jet on the motor cowling. It is a 25 HP. A trailer too with new tires and a spare. This rig is cherry. Richard took great care and pride in his boats and this reflects it. Always stored inside, wiped down the motor after every trip and a coat of wax on the motor when needed. It is in my front yard and when I looked out this morning I teared up. Richard and I have spent countless hours fishing, laughing and solving world problems during out adventures. I won't lie there was arguing too but always resolved. Besides what you get for this price there will be a million dollars of good mojo free and you will see this in another post after the boat pictures. Ham has fished out of this boat too and Grizwilson knows from seeing Richards other boat on the redfish trip how Richard takes care of his stuff. I had struggled with a price and have reached out to some on OAF for help. This is what I will be asking for the rig. 3000.00. We are talking on the upper end of better than average here and these pictures should reflect that,

     This is just a fraction of the good stuff that has come from fishing in this rig. Richard caught his first fly rod hybrid from this boat as did I and Mrs. BilletHead. Actually this boat started our infatuation of chasing hybrids on the fly,

    Can you see the love this rig will bring? It would be my pleasure to sell it to an OAF member. I am sure Ham has some photos also,

Does it come with the location of the hybrid honey hole?:)

       Are you trying to up the cost? Mojo is free but the honey hole location is going to really up the asking price :P !  Actually hope the boat has no homing pigeon in it's DNA.

This is a really nice rig that was lovingly and meticulously cared for. The motor starts right up and ran flawlessly when I was in it. 

I grew up in 14 foot boats. Plenty of room for two to fish out of. The 20/25 is plenty of power. It scoots along nicely.

This would be an excellent boat for the 11 Pt , Current, White, Norfork, and other rivers. 

Great boat that won't break the bank. It is literally as good as new at less than 1/2 the price of new.

Yep, he left his affairs to right guy.:mellow:

           I hope so Snagged, that and I feel like he is looking over my shoulder all the time. Thinking I should take out the dust rag and wax and get to it. With the friends he has now up there I don't want to make my buddy mad,

I am seriously interested, it's obvious he took excellent care of it.

What I need to know is will that 25hp actually plane that hull up???

I want this rig if it will plane up with two people or 325lbs oso....such a cool little rig.....I want it

    It will plane up with two people. Just not a fast jump with two. Richard and I have ran some mighty thin water in it . Me at 190 and Richard the same or a little more at times :) . My 60/40 on a good day with a good current might hit 30 mph me alone. Richard alone in this rig could not keep up with me but I bet he was getting close to 20 MPH on his good days. Ham may have more input but he is a skinny tall dude !  We never tried an accurate test with a GPS in Richards boat.
