My New Toy :)
I got sick of not being able to find the boat I wanted on the Pittsburgh craigslist. I was looking for a 16-18' aluminum with a 18-20HP for under $4000. Cruised over to the philly craigslist and found this gem. It's a 94 Lund 18' with a 94' 25HP Evinrude that im going to sell and trade down to a 20, and eventually get a 60. It also came with a foot controlled minn kota transom mount trolling motor. And the reason I drove 5 hours across the state for it the next day was the price....$2000!! The hull is in incredible shape, everything works great on it. The trolling motor is only 36# so I'll probably sell it and get a 70# just because you can't have too much thrust. From what I read about the Alaskan's is you don't usually find a good used one for sale for cheap, and they are loved by many. I think I got a killer deal and can't wait to get this bad boy out and start jiggin til my arm falls off!

I'm going to slap some 20HP stickers on it and use it on the 3 rivers and pymy. Prolly not the best idea to make this known on the world wide web, just sayin'

Especially with pictures attached. Now anytime they see you out your getting stopped and checked. I never understand why people post things like this. Congrats on the new boat though.

I have that same freakin boat! Mines got a 40hp evinrude on it though. Wish I could take it to Arthur or pymie... Does about 28mph at wot. Mines set up a lil different though, my dad bought a used center console for it so now I have a steering wheel, which is nice. Lemme know how it does on the water w the 25hp on it ok? Mine is also open all the way to the bow and I have a homemade casting platform w anchor/life vest storage underneath. Enjoy!

Ya the more I thought about it I decided im going to sell the 25 to my buddy and just pick up a 20 so im legit :)im already ahead of the game by spending 2000 less than i planned. room to expand....
I have a 10hp to use in the meantime if i dont find one right away. it was nothing more than "new boat, im gonna fish it everywhere" excitement. calm down people

Congrats on the new boat. I upgraded last year but I had to drive 12 hours people thought I was crazy. But I couldnt find a center consule I liked close and my brother inlaw lives in south carolina so he was able to check the boats out and let me know what he thought.
