Im posting this for a friend of mine.
Here is some information on the boat:
Length overall: 20 feet, 2 inches
Beam: 8 feet
Hull draft: 18 inches
Fuel tank capacity: 85 gallons
Weight w/out engine: 2300 pounds
Engine: 2005 Evinrude fuel injected 150HP (engine has less than 200 hours on it)
Power Tech 4 bladed Stainless Steel propeller
1.5 gallon VRO tank (no-pre-mixing of outboard oil)
Dual batteries with 4 position switch all re-located to the center console
Aftermarket lean post & T-Top with rocket launchers (overall there are 19 rod holders on the boat)
Built in gunwale rod storage boxes, port and starboard
Over-sized fish box under the front casting deck
Under deck storage on both sides of the fish box
Large storage space inside the center console
22 gallon livewell in deck behind the lean post
2 livewell pumps, one to pump water in, one to pump water out
Lowrance LCX-25C GPS, Sonar/Fish-finder with color screen display
NMEA Fuel management system coupled with GPS unit (Gallons per hour, total gallons used, etc)
Uniden LTD935 VHF Radio
Stainless steel steering wheel
Teleflex twin ram hydraulic steering
Rule 1500 Gallons Per Hour bilge pump with Rule Auto Switch
Salt water wash down pump
Stainless Steel kicker plate (kicker engine not included)
Swim platform with flip-down ladder
Cockpit courtesy lights (2 light up the deck from the center console, one under the T-top right above the helm)

Also included in the sale is: Load Rite aluminum trailer with brand new winch, spare Stainless Steel 3 bladed propeller, 94 quart Igloo Marine cooler, Danforth style anchor, anchor chain, 200 feet of anchor line, 3 adult Personal Flotation Devices, Type 1 Personal Flotation Device (throw-able or 'seat cushion'), fire extinguisher, first aid kit and 3 various length mooring lines. I have a cushion for the back rest for the seat in front of the center console and cushions for the step-box seats at the stern, they just need to be attached.

The 150HP Evinrude engine sips fuel with the fuel injection. Cruising @ 4200 RPM's, the engine uses 11-13 gallons per hour while making 23-26 MPH. Wide open throttle @ 5200 RPM's uses 14-16 gallons per hour while making 30-35 MPH, depending on the sea state. Buy with confidence, the 2005 model engines do not suffer the same troubles as previous Ficht fuel injection models had. Evinrude had the bugs worked out of the 2000 and earlier Ficht fuel injected engines. Recent maintenance to the engine includes new spark plugs and fresh lower unit oil. I've also replaced the in-line fuel filter housing and filter.

Hydra sport hulls are well known for their comfortable rides. It handles 2-3 foot chop like a champ! I've had it out in 5-6 foot seas and also does great. The deep "V" and large bow flare makes for a comfortable, dry ride.

The Lowrance GPS unit has a long list of features that would take too long to describe here, please see this link for more info:

The NMEA Fuel management has a flow-meter in line with the fuel feed line going to the engine that shows total gallons used and gallons per hour no matter what the throttle setting is. All this information is shown on the GPS display. A great tool for making far offshore trips.

The boat is very clean and has been well maintained. A few bumps and bruises aside, this boat looks great for being 18 years old. The bottom paint was on the boat when i purchased it and is okay shape, but could use another coat if the boat is to be kept in the water year round. There is one rocket launcher that has broken off of the T-top, but could be welded back on. Also, the trailer is equipped with brakes, but the brake assemblies have suffered from corrosion and do not work. With the right tow rig, trailer brakes aren't necessary. NADA has this boat, motor and trailer valued at over $14K. I will consider all REASONABLE offers and sea trials are available for serious buyers with cash in hand only! Make offer! PM me your number and best time to contact you if interested. Boat is located in Corpus Christi, tx

John, i swore i had your number. For the kicker i have no idea. we have never needed one. this motor is a champ. last week we made over a 100 mile round trip and didnt have a single problem.

the live well in in the deck in the middle there. in the 2 side boxes one side has the vro tank the other is storage. we put a big cooler under the leaning post. we fish 4 grown men (all of them over 200 except me) very comfortable. if i didnt have my own i would buy it.
