I am listing this classic wooden drift boat for sale for my old friend Bruce Porter:
_______________________________
The boat is a 17 x 52 Tatman design. It's 15' 10" on the center line, so it does not require CF #s.
It was professionally built in 2000 by John McCleary & Sons - Professional boat builders in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
It has always been garaged. Fished primarily in the Fall on the Klamath river.
It is in unused condition since a complete inside/outside restoration.
The interior of this boat is dry! No leaks.
The boat seats three plus the rower.
It has raised floors, front and back.
The hull was stripped bare inside and out.
The bottom has three coats of West Systems 2-part epoxy.
The floor has two coats of West Systems 2 part epoxy.
Then it has three coats of marine spar varnish inside and out.
It has a new 3/8" UHMW synthetic sheet bottom which was professionally installed by Gary Minnis at Keaton Boats ($1,200.00).
It comes with Cobra oar locks with UHMW oar lock sleeves.
UHMW anchor bang plate on transom.
Sawyer MX-G oars.
Anchor system.
Cover.
Trailer with spare.
Trailer has new winch and jack.
All three tires in great shape.
All trailer lights are in good working order.
Comes with spare tail light bulb.
Trailer accepts a 2" ball.
All that is needed is a 30/35 pound pyramid anchor and a couple of PFDs and you're fishing.
The only reason I'm selling it is I have two drift boats and I can only row one!
Selling price =$3,500.00 OBO I'm practically giving it away.
If you replicated this package today it would cost over $10,000.00.
Email me at brucetporter17@aol.com or call 916-257-7441.
In Sacramento.
Thanks Bill.
Cheers,
BP
