    Smokercraft has for a number of years had the welded west coast line of boats, the American Angler boats: www.americananglerboats.com/ Any brand new boat is going to be expensive, that is a given. I agree that winter is the best time to buy that new boat, leftovers, dealers going out of business etc.

    They were state of the art downriggers back in the seventies and eighties. I don't think anyone was running over 10 lb balls back then. I think Offshore bought them in the late eighties and tried to revive the brand.

    10/9/14. Preparing to get it winterized and stored for the winter-may or may not be reposted in the spring. I purchased this boat in 2011 it had sat inside a garage for 5 years and had a 2 stroke Yamaha on it. The previous owner had re-done the interior including new floor. Has four swivel seats so it is set up now like a Great Lakes Special. I purchased the 2003 Mercury 4-stroke from Bow and Stern in North Tonawanda NY in 2011 used and they re-did the transom at that time. So the key issues on an old boat--floor, transom, interior and motor have all been done. I have probably put a total of about 150 hours on it in the four seasons I have had it. This boat is very fuel efficient. Was on Lake Ontario for four days last weekend and runs great. Boat does not leak. Have towed this with a 4 cyl S10 with no issues down the Thruway. In 2012, I had a new high fishing top, cockpit cover, and bow cover done. I have also installed LED taillights on the trailer. Will come with VHF and an old depthfinder which still works fine. I am asking $6700.00 or best offer. Like I said the main items have been addressed. Will take any additional pictures you would like. Reason for sale is purchase of a classic car. Located in Dunkirk, NY

    I have never run any weight over 10 lbs for the most part. I have owned Starcrafts, a Sylvan and now a Sea Nymph and with the rigger run at 90 degrees out(straight out from the gunnel) all of the aluminum boats I have owned have had some flex but they all had aluminum going across the front of the transom well, not like the fish-n-ski-boats now which are almost open to the transom. I also think that Lund also has the narrow gunnel on the top so you may have to do some reinforcement. I know there is probably foam under it but a backer board or plate is an option to spread the stress out from just the rigger mount.

    I have a 1956 Crestliner, still a lot of outboards from the 1950's and 1960's out on the waters like Lake Chautauqua and I am sure on the Finger Lakes. Lots of boats in the boat lifts around Chautauqua Lake and the like from the 1960's and 1970's.

    That was the good thing about Johnsons during the time OMC was headed to bankruptcy, the Johnsons were the line that didn't get the high end stuff that caused major engine failure and fires on Evinrudes.

    Some people spend thousands on golf, skiing, going to pro-sporting events etc. If I had to base it on cost, I would have been out of it along time ago. I think of all the memories instead and when the end comes, I won't be thinking of all the work or worry that was part of my career that made it all happen, I will be thinking of the boats I owned and the fishing opportunities I had.

    start looking on Craigslist, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse. For example there is a Blue Fin Royal line on Buffalo craigslist with an old Chrysler, ditch the motor and you have a functioning boat. The Royal Line Blue Fins from the mid 80's are a lot like the Sea Nymphs from the era(which I have)-good boats. Having a motor available opens up many options.

    Had an 05 Trailblazer, loved to eat up brakes, mileage was not that great and when I totaled all the repairs and was about to embark on more, I sold it. All the full size pick-ups are good choices, the Ford Explorer-the older version etc. To get better gas mileage and still have the ability to pull something(tow rating 4500 lbs I believe) the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Saturn Outlook might be worth looking at. Those vehicles essential replaced the Trailblazer and Trailblazer EXT with something that was car based with better mileage.
