Thread: Just got a used boat, want to fish the harbor

  1. #1

    Default Just got a used boat, want to fish the harbor

    Hey guys need some tips on what I need to take on my boat to fish the harbor area. The boat is a 1988 Seaswirl 16 ft with a Evinrude 90. Me and my dad got it pretty cheap and would like to use it for recreational but more important for FISHING!!

    Congratulation on the boat...First thing is to take it to a lake and run it...Don't want to get stuck in the ocean..Pudding stone is a great lake to test it.

    if u take it to the lake, make sure u have the quagga sticker. make sure the engine runs before putting it in the water. other than that have fun. If you plan to take it out to the ocean, get a sea tow membership. i just got a boat, been towed twice, would have cost me over $1500 as opposed to just the membership.

    How big do you think will fit in the boat and not be overdoing it?

    Replace the trailer bearings first ,you don't know when the were serviced last , buy a extra set for on the road emergency repair , spare lug nuts etc. Put the earmuffs on the fresh water intake let it run to check for overheating , happy boating, Todd.

    ~120 a year... if u ever need a tow without out, its around $300 to start and $300 per hour. Get it your first year of use at the least.
