Well, not mine, but it was mine at one time.
Years ago we had a little 17' Sailfish CC with an older 70 horse Evinrude. It was a great boat, very stable and tracked perfectly. The boat was a '93, but the engine was older ... I think an '87. When I bought it, I had the powerhead completely rebuilt because it wasn't running well. I sold it after a couple of years to my older son's father-in-law for a thousand bucks. He's been trailering it to Maine every summer for the past 10 years or so and used it regularly for fishing on a lake up there. Yesterday, he gave the boat, trailer and motor to my younger son (who used to use it as a teenager). Still looks good and runs fine. My son is all excited. I always liked that boat. It is almost a copy of Boston Whaler's original hull design, but for some reason is much more stable than a Whaler. I sold it because we had purchased a new, 16' Whaler Dauntless. The Sailfish is much more stable as a fishing platform. So, what goes around, comes around. Eisboch |
