Drummer Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Apparently it's a Florida boat now residing in Charleston, SC. Looks like a decent price. Not mine, have not seen it.

HewesYourDaddy Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I think it's still in the Tampa area, just showing up on the Charleston list. I've been eyeing this one for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPFit Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I've seen it. Parked in front of bait shop across Bay Pines Ramp. Nice boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 It's a guide boat and been for sale for 2 months. I was surprised it hasn't sold, maybe poor condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatwater Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Yep like shane said its a guide boat. I have run into the guide a few times around bay pines. Nice guy and seems like a decent boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Nothing wrong with guide boats necessarily, particularly if they have taken good care of everything. My bro's guide boats are vintage and in outstanding condition in every way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Juice Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I've always wondered why "Guide Boats" are so bad. That boat is their livelihood and if they don't take care of it that's food off their table. It might be fished a lot more, but mechanically sound. I'd be more worried about a tournament boat, they seem to be run way harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatwater Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I think guide boats are actually a good thing. Like others have said, usually they have higher hours but are mechanically sound. I would take a higher hour guide engine over one that sat for months at a time with low hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanically usually are fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason p Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'll take a "guide boat" over a 10 year old boat with 100 hrs any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had a bunch of boats on both sides of the spectrum including 8 year old boats with 49 hours and guide boats with 900 hours and I will gladly take the never used garage queen. If it was sitting outside with no use id agree with you. All it takes is a fuel system cleaning and good to go. All depends on how the boat/motor were kept imo. That being said ill buy anything if the price is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
