    Boat Motor and trailer package. Ideal setup for cold weather Musky, Salmon or Walleye. Full height top can be used for drifting or trolling. Boat can even be driven full speed with top up. I’ve even used a small Mr. Buddy heater to dry hands and keep warm while fishing. Rear section creates a full enclosure to keep snow and rain out of the boat overnight, or camping.

    I just spent a lot of time and a couple thousand updating this boat for the fall fishing trips. No corners cut, as it was my intention to continue to use the boat myself this fall. Reason for selling is an opportunity to upgrade to a newer Lund through a friend. I’ve owned the boat since 2001, and primarily used it for fall Musky fishing trips in the Eagle River chain and Mercer areas. All other times the boat is stored in the garage.

    One area of concern aluminum boats older than about 10 years is the transom. Boatbuilders still used wood up until composites became popular a few years ago. Over a few years of use the wood soaks up moisture, and with freeze/thaw cycles they will delaminate or just begin to rot. Nobody wants to buy a used boat and be faced with a $3000 repair right away. You can have confidence in this one, as it just had a complete transom rebuild done this month by an experienced marine mechanic.

    Boat was mostly used for Musky drifting. Attwood rod holders/sockets all around the boat. Livewell has a timer system installed. With the onboard charger, I could keep suckers in the boat overnight, with the aerator running and boat plugged in.

    This boat also has enough power for pulling a Skier or pulling the kids tubing with the V4. ETEC engine is 3 seasons old with only 85 hours.

    Includes a custom bow and cockpit cover by Plahns. This cover is easily installed from inside the boat and is also trailerable.

    Boat is located in Delavan, WI. Test ride available for serious buyers.

    Please call or text Jeff (262) 215-5832, or reply by email/PM. Asking $12,900 or offer. More pictures available if needed.
