Yep, I'm asking y'all for "boat help" 😉

[fishinwrench]

I've been asked to make an offer on this 2004 Lowe Roughneck 1760 / Yammie 50 

Been stored, unused, covered, and in a barn since 2007 

I don't wanna insult the dude, but obviously I'd love to get a really sweet deal on it.   Clean as a whistle, not even a scratch on the hull, only needs a carb job, refreshed water pump, and maybe a hose or two.   

Question:;   What is the most that YOU would be willing to offer ?     

 

I'd really love to make a sweet Flyfishing rig out of it !  ❤️

Dang that is clean!    Great size too!

Longshaft.  Goofy little console and no real seating.  All sets too far back, how does it plane?  Probably need to run it and see how it rides.

Assume open deck with all the ribs, no flooring.

$3500

Goofy ?    You're goofy !    😅  All you need a console for is to hold a steering wheel, and a place to mount a depth finder ! 

She's a blank canvas !  

 

I would love to get it for 3500.00 but I don't wanna insult the guy.   The motor alone is worth more than that.

@Phil Lilley you've bought & sold a few of them..... What's it worth ?

[kjackson]

Since I'm actively in the same buying market, I'd say $5K... it's not what I'm looking for, but it's a fair price.

[MrGiggles]

I'd agree with $5k. I'd venture to guess it would take a good long while to get that though. It is still just a jon boat, no seating, no storage, no livewells, no electronics. 

I'd say it'd be perfect for the avid catfisher or duck hunter.

[fishinwrench]

Yeah 5k seems reasonable.   There might be a duck hunter out there with deeper pockets, but considering that I want to turn it into a fishing boat.....which will cost an additional 2.5k...... 

I'll bounce 4k off him and forgive the 713.00 bill that I've got invested in it thus far.   👍

That might make a sweet little jet for the river, (you would have to build a transom) I sure like that gen of yamaha, I had skeeter with one of those it ran flawlessly.

[jdmidwest]

A little short shaft 25 hp Mercury 4 Stroke would only take a 1" aluminum tube spacer between top of transom and mount to plane well I am guessing.  Then he would have a jet boat.  Sell the yammy to pay for it all....
