flatwater Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 The time has come for me to sell my favorite boat I have ever owned.. I will work on getting some better pictures tonight. If it doesn’t sell quickly I might keep it for a while longer and use it for tarpon season. Details below: 1995 18’ Hewes Redfisher “Lappy” -Mangrove Teal Color -No wood in construction. Full composite boat. Yamaha Pro-V 115 Engine -Head Gaskets cleaned and removed in 2016 - Perfect even compression (compression test done April 2017) - 450 Estimated Hours - Only used ethanol free fuel and always run Yamalube and fuel additive - These engines are bulletproof and run for forever Minn-Kota Riptide trolling motor -80lb 24V - New control head end of 2016 - Minn-Kota quick release bracket - Guest On Board Charger (new July 2016) 8 Foot Power Pole on Bracket - Recent Rebuild and 2 Remotes Push Pole included in sale LED lighting throughout the boat - Blue under gunnel and blue under poling platform Underwater lights on trim tabs (green) Lowrance Elite 7 GPS/Depth finder on RAM Mount (added Jan 2016) Aluminum Trailer - Brand new Spare tire - Just painted the rims a gloss black for fun, I think they look great (will include updated pic later with new rims) - seadek installed on trailer steps 2 Marine speakers with AMP and Aux cord for plugging into phone ect. Front and rear cushions Full cover (covers both the top and sides of boat) Price $12,500 Located in St. Pete, Fl Contact Info: 727-304-0224 Please Note - This boat is not perfect and has some scratches and spider cracks on the deck, faded tach and speedo, bumped up rub rail all of which are consistent with its age but it catches fish and turns heads at the boat ramp. I cant tell you how many times I have had people stop me to ask me about the boat.. In the 3 years I have owned the boat it has performed flawlessly and never let me down. Always flushed, washed and covered after each use. In addition, I wet sanded the boat shortly after I purchased it and have waxed it each month to make sure the gel coat maintains its luster. I know I am going to regret selling my lappy but the time has come for me to upgrade to a bigger boat.. Also including miscellaneous extra with the boat that I have purchased but never got around to installing like a custom made Hewes swith panel with rocker switches, new steering wheel, ect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfish Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Nice Lappy. Been a while since I've seen an 18 on here. Perfect power for it and reasonably priced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Won't last long. Nice ride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatwater Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks Guys! It was a very hard choice to sell but I don't have the room for multiple boats right now. Now I have to get serious about replacing it ASAP. I already have a few people interested that said they want to buy and the first water test scheduled on Saturday. I don't expect it to last too long. If anyone is on here is interested let me know! I would love it to go to a member on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
