wouldn't that be a screaming deal! also, I might be into a tradefor a medium to large motorcycle, like a honda magne 750 or 1100 or an older v-max yamaha or a kawasaki vulcan 1500-1600. I aslo have a dandy 1973 honda CT90 , starts on the first kick. that I might sell/trade price for that $850.00 . I couldn't see taking any less than 2500.00 for my boat. to set one up like mine would cost alot more than that. I had a 16' fishrite. To be honest I miss the handling of the fishrite, these lavros are pretty sluggish compared to them. but the lavro is way more slippery in the skinny water, way quieter,and alot warmer than the fishrite. and they are tough, I don't think you can do much to hurt one except to bounce it off the trailer and drag it for more than 3 miles. I think that just a bs story they invented during happy hour.
