I think I need to replace the reeds on my 200 Optimax. I heard a few people say to use carbon fiber reeds. Does anyone have experience with this?

Interstate starting battery new is 3-4 years old. The trolling motor batters are the largest size (size 31) deep cycle batteries new in 2012 (still hold charge and deliver power like they are brand new). Factory issued Lund boat cover included(never been used in the last 5 years). Comes with 3 premium, matching Lund leather seats that can be moved to 6 seat bases. 6 cup holders.

The boat is licensed in MN thru 2019. I will include a matching throw cushion (red). Bow nets along both sides for additional storage of items. 3 interior lights are installed on this boat. There is a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo with antenna included at the console. The Sony has a detachable face with carry case included. 2 waterproof marine speakers provide plenty of quality sound. New bilge pump last year (2016). Speed, tach, and fuel gauges at dash. 72” floor ruler and 36” aluminum rulers included with “bump board” feature. There is a lockable glove box in the console. Front and Rear navigation lights included. Gas tank is over ¾ full of new fuel (BONUS). See full specs and floor plan from Lund at page #27 and #34 from the link below: http://www.lundboats.com/wp-content/uploads/catalogs/2005.pdf 2004 Mercury 60 HP EFI motor. 2 tilt and trim switches, at the throttle, and motor. No dings or nicks in the flawless stainless prop and a brand new aluminum spare prop included (never touched water). The skag has a dime sized notch missing, but has been filed down and has no impact to the performance of this motor. The motor is in excellent condition and runs perfectly. Starts easy even in extremely cold weather. Pushes the boat 33MPH with one person. The motor has a Sting Ray Hydro Foil fin on it as well. Squeeze/pump ball included, but never need to squeeze. 2006 Karavan galvanized roller trailer with matching galvanized rims. Spare tire included that is in great shape. Recently, completely rewired with heavy gauge protected wire and LED lights. It has the rear 3-light bar too. Brand new tires last fall(2016) with new tire marks still visible. Less than 500 miles on these new tires. Bearing buddies and transom saver included. 2” ball and flat 4 trailer wire hookup. The trailer has a lifetime license in MN. Swing tongue saves over 2’ of storage and this boat can be stored in 20’ deep garage (motor down and swing tongue). 2 quick tie-down straps included on transom. One man can roll this boat easily into and out of a garage. 2013 Minnkota Terrova 80lb 24v trolling motor with iPilot and iPilot Link (linked to Humminbird 898 graph). This trolling motor include a brand new (never used except for one quick test) Terrova foot pedal. 65” shaft and universal2 transducer built in the trolling motor head. Battery charge indicators. The iPilot Link was added to the Terrova in new in 2015. The iPilot Link comes with a color LCD remote that is on a lanyard and was replaced brand new under warranty last year. 2 Humminbird graphs included. Permanently at the bow is a Humminbird 898HD SI GPS/Sonar/DI combo graph(4 years old). Humminbird 899HD is 2 years old and can be linked to iPilot Link Minnkota from the bow or the console. I put the graph in the bow for most of my fishing, but if I’m trolling, I can move it back to the console. At the bow it reads off the Terrova trolling motor US2 transducer and at the console it reads off the factory issued transducer at the stern. The 899 is mounted on a HD RAM mount and the 898 is mounted on a Johnny Ray swivel mount at the console. The 898 reads side imaging and down imaging very well. Both graphs and the iPilot Link have the latest software upgrades installed. I have the newest LakeMaster chips for upper Midwest waters in both graphs. 2 owners. I’m selling only because I’m planning to by a slightly larger Lund boat. I’ve owned this boat since 2012. Always stored in a garage (heated for most of its life) and never left on a dock overnight. Boat and motor were purchased new in 2005 by previous owner (motor was a carry over). The previous owner then put a new trailer under this boat in 2006. I’ve got all the original motor manuals for basically everything on this boat. This boat if fully loaded and ready to fish or recreation. I would be happy to accompany a serious buyer to the water for a test drive, or hookup the ear muffs in my driveway. You won’t be disappointed with how well this motor starts and runs and purrs. It’s extremely efficient on gas and uses no oil from season to season. The oil, oil filter, and lower unit grease is changed fresh every season. Serious inquires only. This is a MUST SEE boat to appreciate its appearance all it has to offer. In-fact, I’d say you have to drive this boat and have it on the water to fully leverage the electronics, motor, trolling motor, and fish catching attitude. If price is a concern, I’m willing to negotiate by removing/keeping the Terrova trolling motor, the Humminbird graphs, the LakeMaster mapping chips to put towards my new boat. I also have 2 butt/casting seats that I will throw in if it’s a full price, easy transaction. Cash or Bank Check. No tax. I will have a Bill of Sale. The title is free and clear and in my possession. Asking $14,250 Cross posted on several sites. I live downtown Rochester, MN I’m no photographer, but I took pictures from almost every angle (it was raining out) and the boat was I just pressure washed the floors so that’s why they look wet. https://goo.gl/photos/KZz4jKhWwcVGAsKm6 Cell: (605) 216-2581 call/text Email: [email protected] Thank You for looking

Price Reduced to $6,900! I am selling my aluminum 1999 Crestliner 1750 Sportfish with 90HP Mercury boat. I bought it brand new and it was well kept. The boat was sitting on my boat lift and the lake rose 14” overnight. It floated off the lift and sustained the following damage in the storm. The drivers windshield glass was broken, frame is still in good shape. Passenger window and middle window are installed now and in good shape. The starboard side of the boat sustained scratches and a few minor dents. The port side sustained a couple minor dents and scratches. The back sustained a few scratches.
