This kills me to do this......my son is now 7 months old and its very difficult on the family with me being away playing angling the great lakes 3 to 4 times a month. I also have some things I would like to accomplish in the next few years. Its tough with this fishing machine sitting outside and not heading up to the pond as often as I like. This is why I'm selling it. Its in great shape and has a tight hall. This is NOT a tournament boat. I have taken alot of pride in taking care of it and maintaining it. The rigging has been done by myself. I am an electrician by trade and have installed all of my equipment to the highest level. I have customized it beyond any other fishmaster I have seen.2011 fishmaster 196. The hall is without leaks and has 7 more years of warranty.2012 trailmaster dual axle trailer. You will get a single axle with a new boat package. I bought the dual axle for better trailering. It pulls great. The single axle just isn't big enough for her. 2011 mercury 150 pro xs. The motor is strong and fast. It has 2 1/2 years of warranty remaining. This is a 40 mph boat that is very fuel friendly.2012 Yamaha t9.9 extra long shaft. It has 1 1/2 years of warranty remaining. I have a Garmin tr-1 gold auto pilot running the yami. Its awesome hands free trolling. The Garmin auto pilot has a throttle control as well for finite speed control.2011 Minn Kota terrova I-pilot, 36 volt,100 lb thrust, with a 60" shaft bow mounted trolling motor. It comes with a foot peddle and a wireless remote remote. I have built a custom battery box under the helm for the three large sears platinum batteries. This matching custom box also acts as a storage compartment for the rod holders and inline planner boards.The boat has 2 large sears house batteries and 3 large sears batteries for the trolling motor. I believe there is still a year of warranty left for all 5.2011 hds-8. It has lots of secret points stored in it too. Lol!8 new cannon dual axle rod holders, 1 berts net holder, and 8' of berts track per side. 14 rod custom bow mounted rocket launcher for rod storage while running.1 large telescopic net.2 electric Big John down riggers on berts track swival bases with 12 lb balls, blacks releases, ball storage cups.2012 Fish Hawk x4 speed and temp sensor for the down riggers.2011 Big John electric telescopic planer board mast and triple collapsible big boards. The switches for the reels have been installed at the helm. 30 mono releases and 30 braid releases.I have installed custom l.e.d. lights under the gunnels for those early and late days on the water. The boat has a folding top with a front window and side curtains. There is also a walk through boot to break the wind on cold days. I have a bow cover too in the event of very rough seas or rain.I have also bought a custom trailering cover. This cover goes over the terrova and the bow. The factory cover does not and stops short of the bow.The purchase will also include all docking items, life jackets and a throw.If your in the market for a great lakes fishing machine, look no further. This baby is fully rigged and ready to fish. This boat will be ready to show the first week of august. As of now, its undergoing routine maintenance at the merc dealer. I have 1 more trip planned for the boat and then she is going to get a complete detail before I show her. I will answer any questions until then. Please feel free to contact me. [email protected] (412) 480-7744I have well over 50,000 into this boat. I'm asking 36,000. I will entertain all reasonable offers. If you looking for the boat and motors without the gear, we can work something out.

video of my boat can be see on ohiogamefishing.com out of state reports page. Under olcott report. I live in Pittsburgh PA.

thanks

I have the same boat, a few years older- 2006 I think. I love it. I'd love it even more if it caught fish like yours did. The idea of a dual axel trailer is a great one. Seems like a lot of boat for only two wheels.

I see there is a single step 'swim ladder' on yours. Is that stock or did you add that as well ?

I'm sure you know you will have no trouble selling that sweet rig.

Thanks Rusty! Them fishmasters are some sweet rigs. We have been blessed with some killer fishing the last few years. Lake erie walleye, eastern lake erie lake trout and lake ontario trout and salmon have been very good to us..

The swim ladder was factory. We dont swim much, but in the event of a man over board it helps to get back in. The dual axle trailer is where its at. The single wasnt getting it done. I have this thing rigged to the max and the single was doing the job. With the dual axle I dont even know its back there once we get on the road.

good fishing!
