Been looking for this specific boat and finally found it. Sportcraft 252 with low hours, 1700 hours. Great Lakes fishing boat and tows easy with a 1/2 ton. Will be fishing Lake Michigan for king salmon and Lake Erie for perch a few times each summer. Everything else out of my home port Harbor Beach. Can’t wait to get my wife and girls “hooked” even more![img]http://[/img] [Linked Image]

That looks to be a very nice investment.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I am glad to see they got it patched up and back to the USA.

I hope your family has many great times on your new boat together.

The last boat I owned was spelled “boatt”. Or bust out another three thousand... looked like the SS Minnow! Wifey and I agreed to pay more up front so I wasn’t fixing and cussing instead of quality family time! grin

Nice. You can do a lot with a boat like that. All you need now is time and money smile

Grumley - I fished a ton out of Harbor Beach when king salmon were easy. Yup, sure miss that. The zebra mussels really changed the food chain in Lake Huron. When perch and king fishing was great the lake had ton of plankton and alewives. Now there are some smelt, very few alewives and about zero plankton. Easy to see bottom 40’ in of water
