Any interest in a 16.5" Lowe stick steer rig?   

 

Thinking about buying it, replacing the lower unit, fixing it up nice.....then selling it.     But I don't want it sitting around all winter.    Probably sell for 5500.00 and I'll warranty the outboard for 3 years.

There was a time in my life when I would have called that tall cotton. A comfortable seat (not necessarily expensive) and a reliable engine would make that a great buy for a solo angler.

I've never liked the idea of driving from up on the bow (Doug Hannon style).  But alot of guys like that style of rig, and I can take possession of this thing for next to nothing.  

Personally I hate everything about it, except for the sweet little 30 Johnson..... but I'm in it for the money 😁

Put a jet pump on it and make it a river boat.

I’ve always liked stick steer boats.

I had the original Skeeter 'glass boat with a 25 Merc & stick, it was the most fun boat I ever had. You could run it to the back of a creek and turn around in 16'. Put a lot of fish over the side of that boat.

When I was a Little Guy one of my Dad's fishing buddies had one. His was like Primer Gray. A gentleman named Larry Slocum. He was a very Good Fisherman and made a point of sharing the water with the guy in the back of the boat. I did not hear it, but I would guess he has passed away.

My river boat is a Tracker Panfish 16 with 25 jet. Fun boat, sit up front and run motor or troll motor.  Good visibility when running.
