I’m selling today for my father-in-law, Jesse, his pride and joy fishing boat. We have all 3 titles. This is an X-Press all aluminum, all welded, no wood anywhere, fishing boat. It is a Kevin Van Dam model which is generously decked out with many new options and equipment. It is 19’ long to the motor. It is red with gray carpeting.

The boat, motor, and trailer are in excellent and perfect condition. He just had me order 3 new tires, on wheels, from E-Trailer. They have zero miles on them and were shipped straight to my house. He ordered all kinds of new equipment to allow him to enjoy his favorite pastime, crappie fishing. He fished primarily at Table Rock Lake where they lived.

The Mercury outboard, 70HP, has very low hours. He mostly used his old 50 lb Minn Kota. He just, this spring, had a Minn Kota Fortrex installed. It’s a 24-volt, 80-lb thrust powerhouse! This trolling motor is as good as it gets. It was voted the best most indestructible trolling motor that is available on the market today. If his health had not declined he was going to have the spot lock GPS installed. This Minn Kota is digital.

Aluma-Weld X-Press boats have been voted the best aluminum boat available on today’s market. Best buy every time!! There are 3 new batteries recently installed with a Minn Kota 3 bank onboard charger.
All 4 seats, driver, passenger, and 2 pedestal fishing seats are all brand new.

This spring he had the custom galvanized trailer professionally painted in Branson and it looks great! He also had installed a new 2-speed boat winch, with a new red strap and a new red bow stop with a safety chain. He also had a new dolly jack installed. All new LED trailer lights and wiring harness installed.

The trailer has welded guide on bunks which makes loading the boat on the trailer very easy even in a strong current. The hitch is a 2” ball. There are new bearing buddies.

There is lots of storage and a live well which he never used. He practiced catch & release only. He spared no expense on this boat. He just had it tuned up in Branson. Also, new plugs, starter, solenoid, water pump, and new spark plugs. He has three more plugs to go with the boat. The transom is secured by 2 new Rhino ratchet tie-downs. This 2008 trailer tows like a dream, so quiet, and follows like a champ.

The overall length of the rig from the trailer tongue to the back of the prop is 22 feet, the trailer tongue does not swing. The motor has a power trim & tilt and comes with a new aluminum motor totter. The bunks and guide bunks are new with carpeting. He is providing more than a gallon of Quicksilver synthetic 2-cycle oil.

Last fall he put on a new stainless Quicksilver 19-pitch power prop including the prop nut wrench. He put Cadillac Deville horns on this boat so it sounds like a big yacht! There are two Lowrance Hook-4 depth fish locators. One is upfront with a transducer on the trolling motor. The other is mounted at the driver’s console.

Gauges include speed, tach, fuel, and battery. The fuel tank holds 25 gallons and has Sta-Bil in it. It steers effortlessly having dual ride guide steering. There is a whale tail that allows one to plane off faster and to hold the plane at a much lower speed; it really does work.

This boat is very stable with a 76” beam, even with 3 fishermen onboard. It has a flared bow, and never took in a wave, ever. There are lifting strakes on the rear of the boat hull and they dig in and allow tight turns, with no slipping or sliding and that’s awesome!

There is also a newer travel cover he is including. Most compartments are lockable. There is a radio and a clock on the dash. He is throwing in a nice dip net. All safety equipment is included. Fire extinguisher, paddle, throw cushion, life jacket, bailer, and front and rear lights.

He is also throwing in rod holders, dock ropes, launching rope, spare drain plugs, cigarette lighter, and a spare key.

He has the windshield, it’s just not installed. He liked the breeze without it! Also included are the Lowrance booklets and map chips.

This is a one-of-a-kind fishing boat with so many new upgrades that I have lost count. This bass, crappie, boat is ready to go fishing.

Today, it needs nothing. When you see this boat I guarantee that you will think it is an almost new boat. My wife knows that her dad prays that a good family man will get this very special boat.

This boat has never been parked outside. It has been garaged its entire life and it shows.

Thanks for looking,
Al
