    I'm driving to Florida to pick it up Saturday morning. It's a 1981 Aquasport 18’ center console, with a 2007 Loadmaster trailer and a 1994 Evinrude 115hp V-4.

    The trailer is a 2007 Loadmaster Aluminum trailer with the optional front bunks and LED lights. It has the torsion axle with posi-lube hubs and Goodyear Marathon radial trailer tires.

    The hull is a 1981 18’ Aquasport center console with plenty of options like a Bennett M-120 trim tabs with the optional led trim indicator gauge, Matrix 97c color GPS chartplotter and depthfinder, Raymarine VHF with DSC and an 8’ Shakespeare Galaxy antenna, Sony CD head unit with 4 3-way speakers, stainless steel destroyer style steering wheel with new Teleflex helm, rebuilt control box with throttle and shift cables, new backlit switch panel with sealed toggle switches and led indicator lights, new rod holders, bimini top, navigation lights, etc.

    The motor is a 1994 Evinrude 115hp V-4 that was tuned up this spring with new water pump, spark plugs, and fuel pump rebuilt and carburetors cleaned with a Turbo polished stainless steel prop and a spare OMC SS prop.

    This thing is in remarkable condition for its age. I'm excited to get this thing on the water this weekend for a test spin. Then out to do some fishing!

    Hey, I'm down for a boat meet. Damn, we could be the unofficial louisiana defense flotilla! I'm going to have to get a BSC pirate flag made...lol

    Dave (and all), you're invited on the boat anytime. Just gotta pitch in for gas!

    Congratulations on the new boat! She sure is in great shape for her age.

    Pop on over to rodnreel.com for any tips on getting your boat ready, fishing reports, troubleshooting, etc.

    Let me know when the flotilla is organizing, the Coonass Coast Guard could grow pretty quickly!

    Ive got a 2008 Kener bay boat. Its black. I took the Kenner decals off but the wife wont let me put any big Glock stickers on each side. Im working on it though. If I could get a couple really big decals from a couple Louisiana websites I would put them on. Free advertising for some cool sights. It would look like a tournament boat for firearms instead of fishing.LOL
