2002 HELLS BAY BOAT WORKS INC Whipray This Whipray is probably the best flats skiff out there, easy to pole and gets into hotspots before the fish can. It is lighter than current models and floats shallower. This is a one owner boat. The engine was updated in 2008 to a Yamaha 50hp two-stroke (it has only 370 hours on it) and a Bob's Machine Shop jackplate was added, the Ramlin trailer had a new axle put on in 2015. It has a 55lb MinnKota trolling motor with AGM battery, a Lowrance Elite 5 GPS/fishfinder and a new (2017) Icom M-24 vhf radio. I have added a padded, folding seatback to the front of the poling platform (no more backaches after a long day of fishing!), a removable back brace and a casting platform, all by Sanchez Brothers. A new seat cushion was made for the boat last year and a new steering cable was installed. It comes with a 23' Stiffy Hybrid pushpole and a custom canvas cover. The boat has always been garaged or covered and engine and trailer have always been professionally maintained. I'm selling the boat only because my wife is after me to get a boat that will carry more people and would be more comfortable for snorkeling, otherwise, there is no way I would be selling it. This is your chance to get a boat that will do everything a new Whipray will do for a lot less money. Call (727)410-0459.
