Very nice boat. Matches the truck nicely too. I like the trolling motor, high seat, and looks like big wells in the back. Or stern I should say..

Yeah, 2 live wells, one on each side in the back. Should be nice to fish off of.
It was my father-in-laws boat. He decided that it is just too much boat for him at 71 and prefers his old John boat to put around in now.
This one has a 115hp Evinrude on the back and supposedly will run 62 on a calm day.

They make a great combo! I really like the color scheme on the truck as well. Some kind of special edition?

It was one of those 90s conversions.
It was all wood interior trim, custom captains seats, a paint job and moon visor.
No performance upgrades unfortunately. Oddly it is a power everything XLT with a 5 speed. That caught me off guard.

I think I would have bought the boat even though I don’t fish. They just go together so well.

That is the preferred package IMO
Power everything with a 5 speed
The conversion makes it a bit nicer inside
That said
I hate the aftermarket door panels they put in my custom van

fishing or not it will get used. I live to fish, but just relaxing on the water is a great stress release
