3247, FOR SALE 1983 Rinker 15 1/2 bass boat 40 hp Mariner runs great.

Bought a used Ranger off Ebay and I need to sell my Rinker. Boat interior has been completely re done, carpet and new rod locker that holds 8 rods in tubes for the tips and clips for the handles. I can't stand tangled rods so I spent quite a bit of time on the rod locker. It has 1 round 24 gal bait tank in the center about 2 ft in front of motor. Also has a 3 battery 12 or 24 volt system. I used a power strip to wire from there to each battery and mounted a battery charger in the boat. You just plug into the side of boat and plug the charger in to the receptacle for each battery. Boat has battery guages and Humminbird Wide Paramount sonar with a Tri beam transom mount transducer and a side imaging transducer that mounts on the trolling motor. There is a switch used to switch between transducers. I got tired of the small plastic gas tank and installed a 10 gal stainless tank in it. I used to fill this thing up and fish for a couple weeks. It is a very cheap boat to operate and will do about 30 mph with 1 person and about 26 with 2. Comes with a lightweight Holscomb trailer with good working winch and jack. I re wired the trailer and ran an independent neutral and ground to everything. All connections have been soldered and shrink wrapped. It took me a whole day to wire it but I dont care to fuss to get lights working so I did it right. The trolling motor I put on my new boat but the mount is still there. It has not been used much lately and the batteries worked fine when I had it out 3 months ago but they might need to be replaced soon. I have fixed trim tabs for it and a fin on the motor to help it out of the hole. I paid $2200.00 for it and put a lot of time and money in to it. It now has a lot of storage under the front deck as I completely re worked the decks front and back. I have trade experience and take pride in my work and the interior looks good. Fairly new tires on trailer and new hubs, buddy bearings and races. I used to tow this with a Mazda B-2000 P.U. no problem. I live on a dusty horse ranch and it is dirty right now but it has been in carport under cover which is included and just needs a wash and vacuum. Make an offer I dont need 2 boats and dont really have a place to store the Rinker. The boat is close to Casitas in Oak View, Ca off Creek Rd
