Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The 160 XT fishes quite a bit like the Esox LTD. I'd begin a hunt for one of those, used. The Magnum is 10" wider, and has a built in tank, more sophisticated electrical, more storage, and a baitwell. Finding a Mag and a trailer for under 5K will not be easy, and if you do find one that cheap, it will probably be fairly beat up. Call Mike at 715.385.2177, he may be able to find an LTD for you. Once you have found an LTD, a rear deck and small built in tank under the deck is easy.
If you decide to rebuild, it's a project, but certainly not impossible or horribly expensive. |
