I have given up my charter business due to health issues, sold the boat and am now offering the gear that was installed... and am offering the following as a package and don't want to break it up. 1) Two Cannon Digi-Troll 10 TS downriggers. They are almost new and have one seasons use. Some very minor evidence of having been fished. 2) 2 stainless spools and 2 plastic spools. Stainless are loaded with wire and plastic is loaded with coated wire 3) Cannon dual axis rod holders 4) covers 5) swivel bases and all mounting hardware and bolts 6) two transducers (one never used) for Digi-Troll bottom tracking and up/down cycle 7) cable for linking the riggers together to work with one transducer 3 Intell-troll probes (one monitor) that all work perfectly and provide speed and temp on the rigger screen. 9) 2 dozen Cannon terminators and other Cannon odds and ends. $1800 for all of it. I used a 50% reduction from current retail to arrive at this price. I also have the original packaging and can do credit cards if a buyer wants it shipped on your dime. I caught a lot of fish with the cycling mode...bait fish do not swim at the same depth, so why should a lure not go up and down while going forward? I really got addicted to the probe read out on the rigger so I bought 3 of them when Cannon stopped offering the unit. I know some have had problems with the Intelli-Probe but I never did...they worked fine for me. I think the issue had to do with the boat being properly grounded. thanks for looking, AC Holmes

I had some folks out last summer on the south end and we drifted on the N wind along shore with spinning rods. We caught 3 big perch on a tiny "flatfish" yellow with red dots, and also caught a nice Brown off the bottom with a day glow green rubber worm. Another day I caught a small salmon and a big perch on the downrigger right in front of the canal, on a small silver flutter spoon. We had both fish for dinner, and the perch was much better to eat for sure. Lots of different ways of fishing Seneca.

OK Champ...I'll give you a call around 8AM

$2500 for the motor...whatta deal! Like new!

Thanks for asking, The 9.9 has an ignition key and an alternator, no tiller...steering tube for cable, gas tank and nearly new marine battery included...

Thanks for looking, The motor is in my garage in Burdett, NY (5 miles from Watkins Glen). The motor is like new and is a wonderful piece of engineering...Honda outboards are hard to beat in my estimation, but a little pricey. Save $2000 on this one...my loss...your gain...I have no further use for it. Regarding the stick steering setup...It is basically a cable steering device with a stick instead of a wheel (used a lot in the South) I liked it a lot...worked great. I chose it because I kept my charter boat in a crowded marina and the 350 was real loud without mufflers, so I had to have a way of getting in and out of the marina before sunrise without waking everybody up, if I wanted to keep my slip. Also, the single screw on the inboard was tricky to back up, etc, etc. There is no easy way of linking the rudder cable steering to a kicker on a inboard, so I went for a totally separate steering system. The hookup to the engine steering tube is totally standard.

This is a Honda 9.9, long shaft, tilt trim with controls and cable, with less than 10 hours use. The package was invoiced to me in May of 2011 for $4987 dollars from Jamison Marine in Campbell NY. I installed it on my charter boat as a kicker, but once the 350 got broken in, I did not need the kicker to troll at 2 MPH. I have since sold my charter boat and given up my USCG papers. $3000 for the three items or... 1) Motor....$2750 Hi Thrust bracket and back up plate for swim platform from Adventure Marine, invoiced for $423.00.... 2) bracket and plate....$200 E-Z glide stick steering, about $500 new... 3) E-Z glide...$250

It is with regret that I will be selling my boat and business. I cannot keep up with USCG license requirements due to health issues. I finally acquired the boat that I always wanted, and fitting her out with no expense spared. The boat is a 2006 Eastern 27, with a 350 inboard and a Honda 9.9 kicker. The boat was essentially new 2 years ago when I bought her in NH from an older gentleman who had her custom built and kept the boat in his boat house. There was 52 hours on the engine when I bought her. Currently, there is 143 hours on the big motor and maybe 40 or so on the Honda. I had planned to ship the boat back to the builder, as he was confident he could sell her at a good price this season. Before I do that, I wanted to explore the possibility on this thread of someone who might be interested in the whole package, including too much tackle and details to mention easily. The offering includes a permanent slip in front of the new Hotel in Watkins Glen, paid up for this year and available for the future if wanted. The deal includes a heavy duty trailer if the slip is not needed or wanted. I had more charter business than I wanted in the last 2 years with the hotel location. A small sign on the boat brought in a steady stream of inquires. I did as many sightseeing tours as fishing trips and met a lot of very nice people from all over the world who were at the Hotel. At the hotel site you would not need a web site or any advertising at all...folks walking around on the waterfront see the sign and call on their cell...too easy! I am at 50K for the package, and would be pleased to connect with any interested parties. There really is too much involved with the boat and business to explain on the classified site. I have attached one photo of "Tara Too" taken yesterday for a quick overview and would be pleased to talk to anyone who had a serious interest in possibilities. I talked to the builder yesterday and the replacement cost on the boat is 110K this year. I have put another 10K easy into the boat with add ons and trolling gear...it is a very good boat and the motor is strong. Everything works perfectly. I have 100s of photos of the building of this boat and lots and lots details about the way she is fitted out. PM me if you wish and I would be pleased to talk to anyone serious about the package. cheers, Capt AC Holmes
