Potter, would have wanted the boat used and I can longer justify simply storing it away. It had always been my intention to fix it up and use it regularly, but nine years have past and I never have the time.

would likely ensure this boat's use for years to come. I do not believe a person would have a problem putting the boat as is in the water and heading out for a good day's fishing, however a little refinishing, fresh coat of marine paint, etc. The trailer requires a 1 7/8 inch ball on the hitch. The gas has to be mixed with the appropriate oil which requires a 6:1 ratio. The boat also comes with two gas tanks which I believe hold six gallons. The Evinrude Fastwin 15 ran fine nine years ago, but hasn't been used since. I have stored it in my barn for about nine years. The boat and trailer do need some refinishing and standard maintenance. It has no rust to speak of, but there is a little corrosion near the hull on the inside that appears to be superficial and easy enough to buff out. It has always been kept indoors which accounts for its better than average condition for a boat of that age. It is fairly light weight and easy to maneuver which makes it easy to get in and out of the lake or to store in a garage. It would be a gem for collectors or better yet a boat to be enjoyed for many more years by someone who loves to fish. Potter of Russell, Kentucky who was an avid fisherman, and it's safe to say this boat has probably creeled more Bluegill and Bass than any other boat still in use. It is rated for a maximum of 25HP and up to four passengers.
