Nice looking boat is it a fishing boat or a race boat? 1350 is light are they rough riding?

Really nice boat I'm not kidding but man looks like it would Boucey in a chop?

Boat handles chop like a champ. I repowered it this year with a new 250 pro xs. So It's a 2012 hull with a 2013 motor (only 30 hrs). I actually just put it up for sale. Only reason I'm selling it is to buy a new tower boat. I really don't want to sell it but for the tour stops next season, I think a tower boat would be more useful. However, if I find a partner who already has a tower boat, I'm gonna kep it.

You think you will be able to recoup everything back you put in it or take a pretty big hit? BTW how much you asking for it. Might have a few people interested or just buy it myself

Decided to keep the boat. Just gonna repower it again this year.

I've got my 2013 250 Pro XS up for same if anyone wants a good deal on a lightly used motor. Only 40 hrs on this one. Shoot me an email if interested.

because I can sell this motor for what it will cost me to buy a brand new motor. This motor is in perfect working order. Only 40 hrs on it & warranty until january 2016. I won't be able to sell it for what I've got in it in another year. It's just easier to repower every year. Someone will get a sweet deal & save about 4k on a motor...

Not really. It only takes about 10 minutes to pull the motor off my boat.

I actually know a lot of guys who do this every year. Some repower every year & others just sell their whole rig & get a brand new one. This is a good time of year to be looking for a used boat because all the tournament anglers & guides who are on a guide program with a boat / motor company are getting rid of their boats right now.

Take a look at the classifieds on 2coolfishing, almost all of the 2013 year model boats are either tournament or guide boats.

I just figured that I would give the OB a shot @ it too.

How long is your boat? If it's over 20' long you can put whatever you want on the back of it according to USCG. I know several people with 250's & 300's on boats that are rated for a 225 by the manufacturer. Coastguard regs also say that any vessel over 20' in length doesn't need a Max HP Rating Plaq.

I can also confirm that a cowling off of a 225 will fit a 250... I can get you a 225 decal set for next to nothing also... LOL
