These were taken with lots of cloud cover overhead so the finish isn't sparkling. When the sun is out...it's awesome!
It is a 1992 18.5ft Kenner with a 1992 Tohatsu 120hp 2-stroke.

How much would a boat like that be ? I'm saving money up for one like that. Awesome boat by the way.


Catch and Release fishing is a lot like golf. You don't have to eat the ball to have a good time.

I paid $5,000 for it, and I feel like I got one heck of a deal. It came with everything but the Hummingbird, which was stolen off the boat while parked in his yard. It took me several months of searching, and I actually found this one after turning down another boat that my son and I drove 8 hours to look at. Talk about lucky!!!

Nice boat, never heard of that motor. Anyone know anything about it? I'd like to get my hands on something similar in an aluminum CC. Congrats on the new boat.

It's right at 7 feet wide by 18.5 feet long.

As far as the motor goes, here's this... http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/4832055/Tohatsu_engines#Post4832055

I've only ever heard good things about those Tohatsu's. Good workhorse motor. Should be a great motor for ya. Looks like you stole it, good job and congratulations.

Nice ride!

No doubt you'll probably add lots of stuff to the boat! My two recommendations are add a transom saver to the trailer to support the motor, and check the bearings/hubs sooner than later.
