Wow,I guess you know eh?
I am one that bought a 87,18ft Ranger with a 89,115 Mariner,what 6 years ago or so. I paid $7500 for it.Great deal. Bought,and dropped in the water and off I was going. Put an upgrade bow mount.200 bucks. Replaced one livewell pump(left running over night after a tourny me bad:wallbash: ) 65 bucks.Two upgraded deep cells,and one cranking battery.(got a deal on them, three for 130 bucks) Bought some clear coat spray and wet sand paper for the trailer fenders,40 bucks. Ran that boat for 3 years.All of them for tournys and fishing Simcoe waters. Gas and oil was all I spent on the boat after that. I lived my passion,and sold the boat for $7000.
I say I did well,and lived out a dream.
