    My office is on Lake Minnetonka where we also have a slip, and I am looking for a basic boat to jump into early mornings before work for an hour or two. Ideally it will be a 17-18 foot tiller with a 75-115 4 stroke. I am partial to a Lund/Yammie combo, but will consider others. The boat needs to have a front trolling motor and 2 graphs, but I could also add those myself. If anyone has something that might fit the bill, let me know!

    It would help to know what your price range is.

    I have a 1750 fishawk tiller that fits the bill. PM me if you want more info.

    I’d like to keep the cost under $18K

    ‘‘Tis the season. Craigslist will be loaded soon. But getting to the good ones first are tough. I’d suggest getting up early on a Saturday and keep hitting refresh. Or if you feel lucky take a Friday off work, if your work schedule is not flexible enough to leave at the drop of a hat. If you see something you like do not hesitate. Or it will be gone. I had a hell of a time last spring finding a nice used lund tiller. Good luck, post pictures of what you end up with!

    That’s why you look in the fall for a boat….sorry that is my advice. Economy is up, you will have to pay full price but sounds like rich people problems.

    Seriously, wow what a perk for that job. I would be out fishing everyday before work, at lunch, or after work. Plus a free slip for the weekends too? Unreal.

    Ha! I can only wish it was free. As an owner of the business, it comes out of my pocket, but I agree it’s a great perk.
