If you would like the Honda BF8A 8hp motor (includes 5gal tank and spare ultra-low-pitch prop for trolling), that is $900 extra. Buyer must come to Schenectady, NY to pick up. Here are some details of the big ticket items (boat, motors and trailer): The main power plant is a 90hp 1997 2-stroke Mercury (Serial code on engine block: 90 ELPTO-1997). Note: Later model boats no longer allow a 90 on a 16' boat. Trust me: A 90 is perfect for a 16' deep vee boat. I had a 75 on this before and it was OK. However, I can't imagine a 16' deep vee (or anything larger) with anything less than that as it would be really under-powered. This motor is incredibly reliable, starts every year (first try), very little smoke, and only has 122 hours on it. The water-stream is incredibly strong. At cruising speed, it's really smooth and quiet. It was always wintered in a heated garage and, believe it or not, is still running the original spark plugs. They look great! For trolling I use the 8hp Honda BF8A made in 1995. This is a twin-cylinder 4-stroke engine that purrs like a kitten while trolling. I have a low-pitch prop on it for extra control at low speeds. It's really sweet. I have the two motors linked together so you can steer from the main steering wheel and troll in comfort. I include a 5-gallon gas tank as shown. I also include not just the owners manual, but a detailed shop manual, too! For position fishing I use the 44lb thrust Minn Kota. The extra-large foot pedal is great and very comfortable. The inverter drive sips the battery for long run times. I include a spare inverter, too (I bought one thinking mine was broke, but it was just a low battery, so I have kept it as a spare). There is a transducer on the trolling motor and with a quick disconnect, you can watch from that sonar unit instead of the one off the back of the boat. Actually, this is very convenient when trolling as you get to see the bottom and fish 16' ahead of time (less likelihood the fish are spooked and you don't see 'em). Just leave it down while trolling. The trailer is a Yacht Club brand, galvanized trailer with new tires. It's bunker style. There are Bearing Buddies on the axles, too (a nice add-on I did). The whole rig trailers well and I baby the boat, never doing drive-ons (I always winch up). The boat has 5 different positions for seats. You will notice that the back two seat (floor) plates are removed. I found them to be annoying while walking around in the back of the boat, so I pulled them out and plugged the holes with wood blocks. I have the plates and screws and include them w/the package. If you want to put them back in, you can. But, most likely, you won't want them in, either. There is ample rod storage (both locked/enclosed and exposed). There's a long live well to hold those monster bass and Northern. It has an aerator. The boat has electric bilge pump, too. There are thee locking plus two more not-locked storage compartments. For gauges, there is a water-pressure gauge (the most critical gauge you can have) for the big 90hp motor. With that, you'll never risk a water-pump issue and burning up your block. I also have an hour meter to clock usage time of the Merc. Of course, there's a fuel gauge for the main gas tank, too. Everything was kept in a dry, heated garage (except when fishing). Rarely did I fish in the rain, so things are in great shape.
