Trailer tracks true and pulls well.
Boat was bought in 2003 and has virtually no clear coat and is faded badly.  Of course it has covered in scratches, and dings.  Carpet is well worn, but not torn.  Boat has two fishing seats and one Pro seat and pole.  I had a recessed trolling motor tray built and installed in 2005.
And it has one barely functional canvas boat cover.

Boat on trailer with motor down is  20' even.  72 " beam.


This is/was a great starter boat...there is nothing you can do to it that can hurt it, and it has served its purpose well.  It is now time to upgrade and get some storage!

Anyone interesetd, or know someone looking for a starter (this would also be a geat Old-guy boat, for someone who fishes alone and doesn't require a lot of space...)
Drop me a line.

Update:

The Speedliner has been winterized and stored on the base.  I have the batteries in the garage, and rotated through the charger.

During the winterization, I had the trailer bearings replaced (they needed it). 

I do not have any pics, at the time I was preparing it for hibernation, my wife decided to drop our digital camera into the Gulf of Mexico...I have replaced it, but the boat is double wrapped and stored.

Obviously, I have another post about the new boat I just ordered...If anyone is, or knows someone looking for a starter boat, or one that does not require much [any] maintanence, please email or call and I can get you a tour of Offutt's storage lot and pass this boat on to a new home...I'll need the storage space soon enough.

Boat is sitting on the base storage lot, under its cover and a tarp.  I plan on pulling it out in Mar, and place on the base lemon lot.  At that time, I will raise the price. 

If you know of anyone interested in a sound starter boat, I am willing to deal, and will even allow you to store it on my spot in the storage yard.

If you need to see it or discuss anything, drop me an email (through my profile) and I will call or come see you.
