I'll try to cover all of the options/additions to this boat:

Power Pole foot control switches (next to troll well, added to boat w/power poles March 2011)

Hydraulic pedestal butt seat (adjustable)

Easy View Tackle Storage system (Feb 2011, similar to hangars used for chips at grocery store)

2 eight foot Power poles (sportsman models) w/2 wave packs, and 2 brackets (total cost for both was approx $4000)

2 Power Pole neoprene covers

26 Tempest Plus Prop B&Bd by Mark Croxton

2001 Ranger Trail tandem trailer w/brakes and swing away tongue. Just replaced all 4 tires this spring and also the spare tire. Have approx 500 miles on them high estimate!

Illinois Bass Federation embroidered ratcheting Ranger Cover w/motor cover ($1000 value)

This boat is customized for tournament fishing. This boat has been OUTSTANDING for me and I really don't really have to sell it. This boat needs absolutely nothing, it is completely turnkey. It has ALWAYS started with a turn of the key. No priming, no choking, and you don't even need to squeeze the fuel line bulb EVER. The boat has been meticulously maintained, winterized, and stored indoors.

The bad: Boat has minor scratches consistent with the age of the boat, the skeg has a chunk missing from the front of it from the last owner trying to put the boat on trailer w/motor down (it does NOT affect performance or else I would've replaced it)

So you're putting it up for sale?  What's asking price?

How long ago did he break the skeg?  If it was recent and the reason he's selling the boat the lower unit may be compromised. 

A broken skeg is also a safety issue, many recommend having it cut of and welded but that in itself is also a safety issue if you speak to Mercury.  I would add in the cost of a new lower unit for this reason or as a good reason to talk down the price.  Otherwise if everything else checks out good with the motor, it seems like a pretty nice deal.
