Bummer about the thunderstorm. The boat is at Lake Ontario Mariners Marine, directly across from Harbors End. I have not take the boat out yet this year. Started on the first turn of the key two weeks ago. The deck boards over the gas tanks are out having new support and fiberglass done. It is the first boat house next to the office almost in the middle slip of the boat house. It has 25 HP Merc on a custom mount. I have not had a chance to clean this boat yet this year and I am sure there an amount of crud the needs to be removed. The hull was pressure washed before going in the water this year by the Marina. You can call me at 607-725-2114 any time. Thanks for looking. Regards, Scott

I appreciate all that are interested. I will try to get some interior images up soon. Although for a few thousand bucks it is starting feel like way to much effort! I would like a hard top also and a thirty footer and twin 225 and center walk around with head. But it is not in the time or money budget yet! It is an inboard. Lots of debate on here which is better. My thoughts are the inboard is less maintenance, but the I/O allow easier trailering. I am sure the list of pros and cons is extensive. What does under 5 grand with a paid slip until May 2015 buy? I think I have to delete this thread, pay $400 to have the boat detailed and then advertise somewhere else for $7,500. Or I just take it out a few times this year catch some kings, make the kids happy, picnic and swim at John Dutch Bay, finish the hydraulic steering on the kicker, install the ray marine auto pilot and just take one less cruise a year! LOL At least this thread has not given way to a bunch negativity on how I am a moran for what I am asking for the boat or my reasons for posting. Cheers, Scott

Still for Sale. I have only posted it for sale on this website. And like all adverising campaigns this one has its plus and minus. Good/Bad news depending on your situation is I just paid the dockage/storage in full to May 1, 2015. That now becomes a factor in any negotiations. I started the boat for the first time this season last weekend and all sounded well. I may have stated it previously but the reason for selling is no time for it this summer and we have property on lake ontario and looking for a little different setup. My cell number is 607-725-2114. Regards, Scott

Pictures are on Post number 9. And yes that is a 25 HP merc 4 stroke on a custom aluminum bracket mounted the stern. The kicker is a great back up to the main motor. Will push the boat 5 mph as well as trolling using only 1/2 gal of fuel per hour or so. Power tilt. I would also consider trades: Jet Ski's, ATV, or snowmobiles etc. Regards, Scott 607-423-3917

This Boat is still for sale. Its in the water and I am looking for offers at this point. It looks like I have to take this year off from fishing. And based on the value of the boat and slip rental ($1800) it may make sense to sell. Please don't be afraid to post a how much you would pay for it today price. It would be an interesting and educational thread in trying to see what the market value is. In the end it is only worth what someone will pay. Does not matter the book value or what I paid for the boat. Boats not perfect but it is solid and safe to be on lake ontario in. It has been professionally winterized each year. Shame to let it sit all summer. There was an add last year for essentially the same boat (not as nice) and the gentleman asked $3,000 for the boat. It was astonishing to me all the folks that posted questions on how could he sell such a boat for so little. It is only worth what someone will pay, Lets have some fun and see what this boat is worth. No posting on price will be assumed to be a binding contract, so no worries. The winter storage is not included yet! cheers, scott

Could be the spelling of Storage in the add opening! If anything the 'warning' about stringers is worth while. The previous owner bought this boat for $10,000 4 years ago and had to have the stringers done for $6,000. That very easily could have been me. Before I bought this boat I always had aluminum boats and the most I needed to do is replace some plywood flooring. fiberglass boats have a different set of issues to look for. Thanks for all the advice.

BUMP.... now that I know what that means. Will only do it once. I guess I didn't do a great job posting what boat I have for sale or I priced it too high or no one buys boats on this site. Should have posted pics first. We will have a boat on Ontario for the forseable future, this one or another. We like this boat and had a great year fishing on it. Just think we want one 3 feet longer. If this sells fine, if it doesn't not a big deal at this point. Let me know if it is the boat, good and bad, or the price good or bad, or the time of year good or bad, or this site for selling boats? Fishing equipment and boat accessories seem to sell fast on this site. This is a cheap setup for someone that does not want to trailer a boat and/or does not have place to stay on the lake. Look forward to hearing from some of you.

Not a boat expert here. I put the trusty stanley classic 25 foot tape measure on it and to the outside rub rail it was around 105 inches at the stern of the boat. My novice understanding of legal vehicle width on the road is anything over 102 inches (eight foot six inches) is considered over width and requires an over width permit. I wish it was a 10 foot beam. But every wish has a down side and that would be the slip would be $2200 a year not $1800. Even the length would be a question; do you measure from the end of the anchor platform that sticks off the bow to the outer edge of the power trim plates, not to mention the custom aluminum kicker mount that extends two feet behind the stern? So really you would be buying a 29 footer! I need to raise the price! I just assumed it is a 27 footer, because of the designation '270'.

I will post pictures soon. Just thought I would see if there was any interest in this boat and dockage before I get in trouble and by the bigger boat. The boat is under cover at Lake Ontario Mariners Marina in Henderson Harbor. Fee's paid through May 2014. We have a place on the lake, but you could use this as a weekend get away. For $1800 per year you have showers, under cover slip and winter storage. Picnic table right in front of the boat. The boat is 27 ft. x 8.5 ft beam. Merc 350, inboard, with custom built aluminum kicker motor mount. The bilge/stringers were rebuilt professionally 2 season ago ($6,000). Motor runs well. Looking to get around $5,000 for the boat and remaining slip lease. Then 50 to 60% of new price for everthing else. 25 hp Merc big foot kicker, any down riggers you want and bert's rod holders. Perfect setup for someone looking to take advantage of the great Salmon/trout/walley fishing out of Henderson Harbor. This boat can handle the 2 - 4 footers with no problem. You can PM me your cell phone and I will txt you images this weekend. We will be on the boat fishing this weekend. Regards, Scott

I have fished 1000ft 30lb wire/dipsy/SD/fly or spoon this year and had some king success. Thanks to all that have shared. My question is why a 1000 ft of wire? We let out only 100 to 300 ft typically. Could you back a few hundred yards of 30 lb big game then 500 ft of wire? I am sure there is a down side that my inexperience has not allowed me to think of. There are other threads talking about rod holders. I can now say I have experience to offer in the area of the 'must have' strong rod holders to fish wire/dipsy setups, as I lost an entire set up off the side in a cheap rod holder. A 12" bert's rail and two adjustable rod holders are the same price as a reel/rod/dipsy/sd/fly/1000' of wire. Just saying from experience now!
