Yup, keeping quiet not complaining.

Got small paperwork fee included some motor registration fee, and have to pay $50 difference on the stainless prop.

Not going to complain.

Paid $13,200 after 6 months of asking about the boat. 2016 new never registered 1650 aluminum boat had 50 hp Mercury. Has light factory spray liner, factory built Alum trailer, 12v 55lb minn Kota troll motor.

Great on gas, simple, decent room for 2 people to fish, real dry storage and livewell. Two people the Mercury after break in got up to 38 mph without pushing it hard. Avg cruise speed around 34 with 2 people. Not fast for the spillway gets you there.

Same trip this boat avg 3 gallons of gas. Nephews two stroke carb 1990 era 75 hp Mercury in his 16ft 48” fisher aluminum boat burns 6 gallons similar trip in the spillway.

Keeping this one in BR to fish the Atchafalaya Basin and Amite River area.
