Location: Roscoe IL | Thought I’d post some pics of the new to me boat. This is my first fishing boat I know I’ll need to do some updates, I’m thinking a terrova with ipilot and a helix 9 for the consol and move the helix 5 to the bow. The boat has a 24v 80lb thrust motor guide but it’s older. The boat is a 1996 stratos 219f walleye, with a 150hp evinruse intruder. I paid 5750$ for it, let me know how I did, my first thought is pretty well for what prices are in my area

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Great boat for sure, they sold around 4000 of those. If the Intruder is solid it should serve you well, and is a reasonable hybrid bigger water ride. |

They owner unhooked the oil injection on the advice of his boat mech so it’s premix now. The oil pump works but he was worried about a failure, he mostly fished Chippewa flowage so I guess a guy could be a ways from where he put in if he broke down |

You will enjoy it. I had basically the same boat in the Javelin Model and took it everywhere. Even took it to Washington State once to fish (bass & trout) freshwater Ocean Shores and do some crabbing in Grays Harbor.
Have Fun |

Location: Already Gone | Nice Rig! First I would :
1. Check your trailer tires and bearings. Replace if needed.
2. Make sure the fuel is also treated with plenty of Seafoam.
3. Check the dates on those batteries, Replace if needed.
4. Get a good personal floatation device and wear it. Make others do the same.
Then maybe think about other upgrades. These items are lifelines to the rest.
Congrats and have fun Captain!!  |
