Rick Howard Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Been looking for this boat for a bit. Preferably in Grey or black maybe white. A lightly used 16 or 17 with some gizmos (trolling motor, depth finders) would be better than brand new if I can save a significant amount. Im negotiable on a 150 but would prefer 200hp. Tough to find anything online and locally they don't exist lol. I've google searched. Tried boats.com and boat select. Anyone have any suggestions where to look? Quote

Tim Kelly Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 A 16 or 17ft boat with a 150-200 rating isn't going to be easy to find. The nominal 17ft boats with a 150 rating are all closer to 18ft in reality and the boats rated for 200 are going to be 19fters. Colour choice on second hand boats, now you're getting fussy. Quote
Rick Howard Posted May 30, 2018 Author Posted May 30, 2018 Thank you Tim. I was unclear in my post. I was referring to 2016 or 2017. The 1875 is an 18' boat. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted May 30, 2018 Super User Posted May 30, 2018 Might be easier to find a leftover new boat than a used boat, or you might need to expand your search area. A quick search on boattrader shows a 2016 available in La Porte IN. That's probably a 5-6 hour drive from NY. Quote

Super User J Francho Posted May 30, 2018 Super User Posted May 30, 2018 Oh god, "What the hell is wrong, now!" Anyway, to the OP > You might really have to do some searching. By most accounts, I'm not sure very many owners are going to give up their Pro-V Bass. Only been out a few years, and people that have them love them. Quote

That had me scratching my head...but I popped a location on the last exit on HWY 90 at the west end of NY and another in La Porte...6 hours, 14 minutes... Fun to learn stuff like that. Quote
Rick Howard Posted May 31, 2018 Author Posted May 31, 2018 I found that boat in Indiana. My searches have been within a 1000 miles. I figured I would check here to see if anyone had other resources to find this boat. I don't mind an 8 hour ride or even having the boat shipped. Franco, I had a suspicion this would be a difficult find because of the short time this boat has been available and folks propensity for hanging on to lunds (especially this one). I appreciate the time fellas. I will keep looking. 1 Quote
Rick Howard Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Well the right deal came along and I went a totally different direction. Ranger 198vx parked out front. 1 Quote

What year, motor, electronics, etc? Quote
Rick Howard Posted June 15, 2018 Author Posted June 15, 2018 08 200 Evinrude. 80 maxim trolly. Lowrance hds7 at the bow and console. 2 8' power poles. Everything this fella needs and then some. I spend most of my time in water that's 10 foot or less lol. but I'm looking forward to using these graphs to search out some out of sight hide holes in a bit deeper water too. that is if if I can get them rigged up right. I think I'm having some compatibility issues with the gen 3 hds7 and the lss-1. Quote
