MuddyBottomBluz Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Saw this on Offerup Miami. I don't know if I like it or not??? Would be concerned with running higher speeds, you would have to to the under/over arm shuffle to speed up or slow down so you don't let go of the throttle.

geeviam Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Looks like it was setup more for cockpit space for square grouper, than comfort and practicality while driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 My thoughts are that’s dumb. I’m sure whoever did it was pleased with the result. I’m sure that SHO will push that boat faster than most would be comfortable going with one hand on the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Its a Work Boat. Says it holds two 100 gallon bait tanks. If the motor is in good shape That is a good price. Do not think the owner would be going to fast with 200 gallons of bait on deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lap it Up Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Live bait boat. Not worth 20k though, regardless of engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanaflatsfish Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 If you are carrying 200 gallons = 1800 lbs plus or minus...you'd need some torque to get you up on plane. The skiff is worth whatever the value of the motor is plus a few bucks for the hull and trailer - $15K will probably move it. dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA/1607 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 A good buddy of mine has a LT. Great boat with good amount of storage. He bought his new from factory. Want to say its a late 90s model early 2000's but cant be sure. Look out for transom issues as he had his redone at factory due to premature failure.

polliwog Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I am an owner of a 1997 LT with a 150 Yamaha. Love the boat ,but I'm amazed it has a 250 SHO. It is actually only rated for 200HP. The engine is worth $15,000 as long as it doesn't have large amount of hrs on it. I would never run the boat with a 250 on it at WOT if you don't want to have an accident. I assume you would refit the deck to fish with it. I would be sure do do a good inspection of stringers and fuel tank if the tank wasn't already replaced. There a lot of issues to look at. Not my cup of tea.
