I'll be taking a job in Port Angeles and my days of fishing the sled are coming to an end. This boats well known on the Skagit. It used to belong to Tom Higgins and then John Falavalito and now me. It's looking for a good home and someone that can use it.

The boat is aluminum with a wide beam, flat bottom and in good shape overall. Two years ago I rebuilt the fuel system and had a new upper end put in the motor. Since the upper end I probably have around 50-60 hours on the boat. Runs strong and reliable.

I'll post pics in a couple days. Email me at mark.strand AT comcast.net if your interested.

email sent...please send pics to ksnitily@imcoconstruction.com thanks, snit

I know this boat. Higgins was a good guy...too bad about what happened to him.

Yes it is sad. I liked Tommy a lot. He had a heart of gold. Many days and many seasons behind us now.

I've moved and that's why I haven't been active for a few days now. I should have pics up tonight or tomorrow. The wifey is taking pics for me as I'm now in PA.

Here are the pictures. Took longer to get things in order than I thought.

One of the other members asked about dimensions. I don't have accurate measurements but here's some estimates...

I’d estimate the beam to be about 6’6”. The length to the tip of the hull from the outside back edge of the stearn is 18’ 6” (if memory serves me well); the side height I’d estimate at about 2’ 10”, the draft is literally just about 8” when dead in the water at the aft portion of the stearn; when on step you don’t draw much more than about 1” of water if that. This boat moves.

I'd also be open to trades - drift boat + $$ (likely) or a bay boat.

Let me know...

Hey this bad boyz gotta go. Help me out here!!!

Fishon!!!

nice looking sled. i thought about offering a trade for my wille, but i just can't come over to the dark side.
bump for ya

Thanks for the kind words and the bump hybridcx. LOL - it's not the dark side!

It's a lotta fun! The thrill is kinda like a snow machine except on water. The real bonus is when you pass over that hole you know has a fish sitting in it... you can run back up and fish through it again - let it cool off - and come back again. It's paid off many times.

Anyway the price of gas is falling, falling, and the season is gonna start getting hot!

It's saying TIME TO BUY ME!!!

Would trade for a drift boat, or??? Won't trade for your wife though!

WHOOPS!

I forgot...

My email addy has changed!

Back to the TOP!!!

Now that steely season is underway... Here's a good boat with good mojo!!!

What are you asking for it now?

What are you willing to pay? I'm looking for $8,500.

Holy cricky! Over 2500 views and no takers? If I had a place to store this boat, I'd be all over it. Give me 6 months to get my shop?

Dave. Give me a call - maybe we can work something out. I need a driftboat and the nates are calling me... oh for a boat that will work on my local waters!
