    My guess is the boat has spent most of its time in the pole barn shown in the pictures behind it.

    You are going to find in the used marketplace aluminum boats in the 17-19 ft range. You will likely want what they call a fish and ski type boat which is open bow, with a full windshield and a high convertible top. Most of these will be outboards. Some of the names you will see are Lund, StarCraft, Sylvan, Smokercraft, Sea Nymph, Lowe, Princecraft, Mirro-Craft, Tracker, Polar-Kraft and of course Crestliner.

    There will be others on here who will see this post, including one who had a Thompson. A 25 year old Thompson, unless it was stored most of the time inside is going to have rot issues. From the sounds it, you seem to be describing an issue with the side bolster and then some floor/transom issues. The side bolster(wood covered by vinyl) is simply replacing that piece. The floor issues and transom are of more concern because there could be issues with the stringers which are underneath the floor and support the boat and floor. This is a major job and major expense. Should it be extensive damage, you need to evaluate all your options before moving forward. There is a marine product which was made by Glov-it-west marine has it to stop rot in its tracks but it sounds like you issue is more extensive then what that product can solve. Like I stated, others will respond who have gone through this issue in detail.

    No increase in years, there are some tournaments in Eastern Lake Erie now that are 500.00 for 4 guys for 3 days. The marketplace decided twenty plus years ago when ESLO went down, if there is an issue this time the same thing will happen which I doubt simply because participation is a fraction of what it was twenty plus years ago. Capitalism still works and let the marketplace decide. Any yes I have owned and run a small business in the past and work for one now.

    Out there today-nothing and several of the boats including charters had few fish. Wind blew from Tuesday to Friday this week-scattered fish. There was a lake chop out there today.

    One of the largest boat brokers in WNY, been in business since 1972 and moves over 100 used boats a year repeatedly says fall is a good time to attract the educated buyer who is looking for a specific boat be it brand, condition, equipment etc. I believe there is a window between now and October 1st to attract that buyer. You set your price and see where it goes. I have been around boats and fishing for decades, several years ago I purchased a boat in September simply because it was the right boat at the right time. I concur that certainly there are far more buyers(and lookers) in the spring.

    I cannot think of one 25 footer that is an I/O with no motor box. It would have to be a very high sided boat. You will likely end up looking at outboards or outboards on a bracket. Bumping to 27 ft, the older Sea Ray Amberjacks did not have a doghouse, but they are also not W/A.

    Long Point State Park docks, the boat launch at Prendergast Point, I think there is a dock or something to fish where the Stow ferry crosses. Could also try the boat launch at Mayville Park

    Hopefully this set of coaches will look at the waiver wire or any other options if things go south quickly I pre-season at the QB position. Not that there are any great options out there, but at least be open to it. So far none of them have set the world on fire in the offseason which is a scary thought.

    It is the minimum range for that boat. I had a 22 sylvan for 8 years with the 130 I/0-top speed 32-33, which is fine for most days. At the end of the day or the end of a trip was the plus for the day, a fill-up didn't cost a small fortune and that was trolling with the I/O. To each there own because I have also had some very quick boats over the years.
