It has been a long time since I logged on and posted. U should probably move this thread over to the "buy and sell". It is time. I don't really like outboards. The 1977 200 hp evinrude makes it fly. I really need to sell the thing. I had to put in new dual rack and pinion steering and with the new helm she is very responsive. The clear coat it totaly gone it is in the paint now everytime I sand, I see silver flake(the brown metallic once sanded produces this). But she has a beautyful body, new steering and and kicking motor along with seats. $2500 and someone can take it. The motor is probably worth 75% to 100% of that. I just got a good deal and need to get my money back out of it. With a 3 year old and a 20 month old I stay busy enough around the house. Took up gardening last year. Will take up boating again in the next couple of years when I can purchase a slip to go along with my next checkmate. If there are any serious offers meaning close to my rock botom asking price then feel free to call me. I am located in Springfield, MO (in middle of the country) SW Missouri. 417.840.3284

We Bought Joe's Enchanter
:cheers
We are very excited! Ready to have a wonderful experience!
This is our 1st boat, and I am sure we don't even know the
challenges ahead. So hello to you all! Remember our poor
souls, as we will be seeking your vast knowledge.

Hi Chris ... Really like the website. Jacob and I (Erica) bought the boat together (50/50). Joe lives about 1 mile from us. We had looked @ a VIP then saw this boat ... need I say more we got the enchanter. Have not had time to fully see all this site has to offer. We will take possesion of the boat after Memorial Day weekend when we get the last little amount money. We paid $1700. Not sure what kinda deal that is, but we felt it was not a great sum of money. Our only wish is that friends are on the lake when we need a tow back to shore LOL. It has a V6 200 hp Evinrude (rebuilt). Joe did go on about how he hates outboards. It has a new rack and pinion with dual cable. Joe told us that way if one should happen to snap you have a backup ... not that he knew this from experience LOL.

You look like an old pro @ the boating thing. I have been on the lake my whole life, and love to fish and swim, but have not been on a boat much. Last summer I decided it was time! I was tired of being green with envy.
Thus I rented a pontoon ... fun but not my style. Next came the deck boat ... loved trying to race people in it, was fast but not that fast. Then the Searay LOVED IT!! For the money I spent renting I could have had a boat. Well now I do and I don't care how much cash it zaps from me and how many times I will curse the day I ever bought it.When I fly by those people on shore my spirit will soar!
