This is a nice clean comfortable 12.5 foot boat for you and your fishing mate, with room for your gear, or there is also space to throw in a couple of extra family members. The marine carpet on the flat flooring in this boat makes it safe and easy to move about or to stand and cast among the snags. The boat has a 12 volt lead acid re-chargeable battery to operate the Humminbird wide paramount fish finder. The fish finder head is removeable and has its own hard case for storage. It also has a speed wheel fitted so you can guage your travel and also has the operations manual included. Included are anchor & rope, fire extinguisher, two telescopic paddles clipped away so they don't get under your feet, two fold down padded swivel seats making the long wait for your fish dinner easy on the rear end. There are plenty of rod holders, two fold away cup holders and two adult life jackets. A bimini cover is fitted, the cover is high so you can move around without stooping, it will keep you cool in the hot summer sun and will also keep you dry if there is a bit of rain. The bimini can fold back on its rear poles and has a sock that zips the cover away for travel or when not in use. This boat is very stable with high sides, making it very safe if you have got the kids on board. It sits snugly in the water and will also handle a bit of chop if necessary.The boat was completely fitted out 8 months ago and was only used twice since, it has no leaks or repairs and has only been used in fresh water. The boat also has a storage cover in its own bag so you can keep your valuable investment in tip top condition.The motor is a 8hp two stroke long shaft Mercury serviced 8 months ago and not done more than 10 hrs since. The outboard has been very well looked after, changes gear smoothly and pumps plenty of water. It is an American built motor with the forward and reverse gear change built into the tiller arm. This means you can go forward & back changing gears easily without taking your eyes off the snags or other obstacles in the water. This motor powers the boat nicely is perfect for dragging lures and is built for the fisherman with three different trolling heights to allow you to operate in very shallow water safely. The fuel tank is 24lt so you can enjoy a lot of hours of economical use.The galvanised steel trailer is in very good condition. It has been strongly built by Australian Trailers in Melbourne. It is ready to tow any distance and place in your garage.The trailer has a fold up jockey wheel fitted. The jockey wheel allows one person to simply move the boat around in tight spots in the yard and it has a 7 pin flat plug and bearing buddies fitted with submersible L.E.D lights. There is some surface rust on the axle - all normal from use in fresh water and easily wire brushed away. The trailer has non slip checker plate steps so getting into and out of the boat at the ramp or at home is easy.  The boat and trailer are registered to Janurary 2017. Transfer of registration is easy, currently $24 and I will fill in all the paperwork to allow you to just pop into VicRoads and transfer into your name, no appointments are necessary and you don't need to take the boat or trailer with you. This boat would readily suit a first boat buyer, an experienced angler or someone who is looking to get a solid boat package that is safe for the family and can be launched and retrieved by one person. This would make a great gift for the Fathers Day or just treat the missus and kids. Local pick up only.
