New Boat, New to me anyway

[Crab Pot]

Been thinking about getting another aluminum boat and stumbled across this 1986 Klamath Alaskan with the bullet proof 28hp Johnson SPL motor for $600. Needs some love and I need something to work on. It's been sitting for three years, former owner passed away and his kids are just now clearing out his stuff.

Intent is beach launches, SF Bay, Delta, local rivers, and lakes chasing whatever.

If anyone has a Raymarine Dragonfly 7 for sale let me know!

I pick it up in Nevada on Friday.

Nice!  I have always liked this hull.

I'm excited on your behalf. Trailer looks pretty ok. Maybe bring a spare tire, or 4

Like the way the bow sweeps up kind of like a Panga. Good looking boat. Enjoy.

Nice blank canvass.  Great deal.

Steve, do not go to pick up the boat without a set of bearings for the trailer and at a minimum some grease.  Pray for zerk fittings. If it does not have zerk fittings, pull the wheels and grease before starting out.  From Reno to Citrus Heights is a long haul for a trailer without maintenance.  Any other work can wait until you get home.  Dominick

Also a tire pressure gage. Thinkin 'bout it, a trailer dosen't get as much use as a passenger vehicle. But don't know about the build on trailer bearings. Seems like the seals should be made well for backing into water, but ya never know.

Congratulations Steve!
