Here is my 1980 16' fishing boat with 1980 Shorelander trailer. Comes with 2004 Johnson 8 hp twin cylinder motor. It is a four stroke, I recently paid the local boat shop $180 to make sure the motor is tip-top. He rebuilt the carb and some other things. It ran fine when I bought it but it had been sitting a couple years so I wanted to make sure it wouldn't leave me stranded. The trailer has heavy duty plastic fenders in good shape, new LED lights, new tires and it pulls very nice down the road. It has nice sized tires not those tiny tires you see on some trailers. I've had it up to 80 mph on the interstate, no problem. Almost zero rust on the trailer. Boat floats just fine, new bimini top, live well pump works. The wiring was corroded when I bought it so I just stripped back the wires and take my jump box with me and just clip onto the pump wires. No trolling motor or electronics. The rear transom is a bit shaky where the motor hangs on, I don't go down the highway with the motor hanging on back there just to be safe. It seems to do fine in the water. You may want to put on a new piece of wood or additional bracing around the motor. Its not fancy but it will get you out on the water for little $$. I have found it is simply more fun to go fishing in my kayak. Plus its just easier, no towing, licensing, or fuel. I only used this boat a half dozen times last year so I need to clear up some space in my garage. The boat and trailer titles are in my name. The motor title is signed over to me but still in the last guys name. When I went to get everything licensed at the BMV the lady told me nothing was needed for the motor so to save $$ she said not to even bother sending it off. I hope that's not a problem, if it is I can see what it takes to sort it out. Thanks
