Picked this up about a week ago. The extended family has a 2 week wilderness fishing trip scheduled to western Ontario the 2nd and 3rd weeks of June 2010. Needed to pick up a family fishing boat with some level of comfort for the women and kids. Had to have either an Evinrude, Johnson or Yamaha. Had to seat at least 6. Had to have power tilt/trim. Had to be affordable. I ended up making 2 trips to Ohio to look at, what turned out to be, garbage boats. Then this one turned up about 40 miles from home. It's a 1984 4 Winns 170 Marquise. It's got a 1984 Johnson 115 with zero hours (other than the break-in) on a fresh rebuild. The motor comes with a 1 year total warranty. Has power tilt/trim. Seats 8 people. Needs some cosmetics as does th trailer. But it's in exceptional mechanical and structural condition. Can't wait to get her on the water!!!!
