I guess it depends on what they consider a long drive, but as others have said, Toronto sits right on Lake Ontario and is close to Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Georgian Bay, Lake Simcoe, the Kawarthas,...

I think it's allot of things all converging.

Hadn't thought of that option REW, thanks for suggesting it. I think I have a decent price in mind now, so this thread has served its purpose nicely.

Thanks all!

Used Boat Pricing . . .

Hi everyone,

Mods, please feel free to move this post if it's not in the right spot . . .

I'm considering selling my boat this spring (sniff sniff) as I'm just not using it enough lately, but...

From everything I've read, it's the older trucks that had the frame issues. I have an 09 Tacoma that has never been parked in a garage and has been winter driven in snow and slush since I bought it....

Just my opinion, but I think a basic 16 foot utility boat with a 25 would be fine. That combo has been used all over the continent for decades.

If you wanted to step it up a bit you could...

I have a 165 Competitor tiller with an F70. I'm running a 13 pitch 3 blade aluminum prop.

On flat water with no wind, it trolls down to about 2.2 with the idle set all the way down. If I'm...

I've got an F70 on an Alumacraft 165 Competitor tiller. It's a 16 footer vs the 18, but only about 50 pounds lighter. The Alaskan is also about 4 inches narrower.

I think the F70 would work...

Other way around. The 135 is a "de-tuned" 150. I believe the only difference is that the 150 has VTEC and the 135 didn't. Pretty sure the 135/150 is based on the Accord engine. Maintained...

I'm thinking it's something to do with your engine height and/or how that particular hull interacts with the engine, etc.

I agree with the others, it sounds to me like the engine wasn't mounted properly when you bought the boat. I'd definitely contact Alumacraft and make them aware of the issue so that it can be...

Congrats, that's a very nice looking setup! It actually reminds me allot of the "West Coast" boats with how it's designed.

The Yamaha might be easier to get parts and servicing on depending on your location. The Honda, I think, is a newer design as I think that 60 just came out a few years ago.

I'd agree with Tdobb. I used to have a 16 foot Harbercraft (same company that is now branded as Kingfisher) and it was a very "stiff" boat. It simply did not flex. It was also tough as nails.
