Still wanted

The cable is 22'6"

The best boat is the one you pay cash for.......after that would be a fresh water boat with a good jap 4 stroke or two!

Please check your garage and see if you have any of there laying around.....I need 6 .... But I will be more than happy to buy singles as well!

Thanks.....

How old is this unit

Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I'm thinking 4 maybe 5 years old....I had the boat for 9 years and went through 2 raymarine sport pilots before getting this rock-solid unit.

Reduced to$1400.00 or best offer!

1 pair off of 1989 engine approx 1500 hours....engine block froze ...these heads can be installed and used for a couple thousand more hours.

...... $450.00

1 pair off 1987 engine >7000 hours.....engine threw a rod through the oil pan.....rebuild or take your chances.

...... $250.00

If you are interested let me know (pm) and I'll get the casting numbers off them.

Helm and cable in Great condition

$150 b/o

The best autopilot for a cable steer boat.

$1500.00

I have exactly two weeks from today to sell and turn this business over to a new operator, otherwise I'll forfeit my other opportunity for the summer and will have to spend my time fishing. Over $25k in business on the books already this year, the majority of which will be realized post sale....or when you run the trips that are currently booked with deposit you will get the $15k in income. AND I am adding trips to the schedule every day!

I'll take $35,000 or a reasonable offer.

Having completed my spring season, and with educational opportunities coming up this summer I am motivated to sell this business and go in a different direction. I'd like to sell the business and the boat.

Business:

Complete client list

Last offering of this boat as equipped. Now selling as package deal with business.

Nice report!!

I missed the part of the report where you hooked up with a sylvan!

has this boat seen the salt water  ?

No...never in salt water....the Coho was built for the Great Lakes.

YUP! ^^^^^

Uncle Paul,

In times past we used to match colors to water clarity, sun angle ect. In today's lake and with cutting edge finishes you can get away with just a few color combos....here they are: lure names are unique to Moonshine lures....color combos are not!

Black/silver with green glow --- geezer, raptor, Crabface

Green glow & silver --- green shorts, bad toad

Green glow/blue & silver --- ratchet jaw

Black & green glow --- Carbon 14

If you want to run flashers use flys in the same colors above behind a white/glow or green/glow flasher.

You can catch 90% of your fish on these combos for the additional 10% you may need those other 300 combos.....or not!

I would say the best boat is a charterboat that you can partake in, catch fish, have fun, and walk away when you are done.

That my friend is the truth!! Especially if you can find a good one in several locations!

Spare 454 engine parts also for sale...any not sold will go with boat

ON a side not...I have a Raymarine DSM25 box sounder with an Airmar P58 sonar transducer.  If I move my Fishhawk transducer to the same side as my Airmar P58, will there be any interference picked up on my sonar?

 

My sonar runs at 50 / 200 hertz, and the Fishhawk runs at 75 or 80 I think.  Anybody know?

 

I mounted a Sternsaver mounting plate, and would like to move my fishhawk ducer over onto it.

You should have no problem whatsoever!!

I wish there was a way to simply "like" some of these posts!

Thank you to those who support us captains and mates.

Brian...Gambler....has summed up the challenges for this business the best.

As for other posts ...... A few of them the ignorance was only exceeded by verbosity.

I think most of you miss the point. $800 should be the minimum cost for a full day charter. The average paid charter on Lake Ontario is $200-300 less than that. If your on a boat paying $500 you better tip the guy because he is in fact making less than minimum wage.

wow... good luck with your business. I will charter with scott. he has the right attitude. he will give everyone 100% everyday. just remember word of mouth is your best advertising.

I thank you for your well wishes Chris, but I don't quite understand what would have offended you especially since you agree with me on tipping. Enjoy your day with Capt. Scott!

Willing to sell without equipment at reduced price

Lake Ontario charters are dirt cheap! If you are paying less than $800 for a day of fishing and you had fun...you should tip 20%

The one service I am most familiar with, the captain books the trip, makes lodging arrangements, sets lines, gasses and maintains the boat, cleans the limit of fish, Empties the head, cleans the boat and posts pictures on Facebook.

I think he deserves a $50 tip from each person onboard!

Oh...and he remembers who tips and who doesn't......just sayin'
