"Had this boat 7 years now, paid $1000 for it, put in at least $4000.
It rides as good as any 17'4" boat can. The old Johnson is
tempermental, doesn't like ethanol, love the MinnKota. I like the boat
because it ain't pretty and I don't have to rub on it like you do a
pretty one, but it does have great bones. I fish, put it on the
lift, go to work and it's paid for. The gas tank is ridiculously tiny at
12 gal it gives me room for 4 batteries though. Livewells are huge. Boat
came from Florida where a lot used them for flats boats and shiner
wagons." |

and the livewell aerators. There are 3 other pumps that I can see that
don't work. What are the purpose of these pumps? The letters on the dash
are worn to the point that I cannot read them and the boat did not come
