SOLID NITRO BASS BOAT- DUAL CONSOLES- DUAL FUEL TANKS- DUAL REAR LIVEWELLS - First photo was with original carpet. New carpet just installed. This was our number one boat on Grand Lake in Oklahoma until we lost a set of rings on the motor. The shop that repaired it tore the motor completely down and sent the block out for new sleeves. After keeping our boat for 18 months, they put it together with a load of new parts, but we found out later that two sleeves were installed out of proper alignment. It would only run if I pumped the fuel bulb or if I was willing to put an electric fuel pump on it. Since the motor still needs repair, I decided to sell the boat without the motor. I am unwilling to pay to fix it twice. The buy it now price is for the boat with no motor. If you want the motor you will need to contact me to strike a deal. This boat has a lot of great features, starting with a great color scheme that doesn't date the boat. It is rigged with a lot of nice options including hydraulic power steering, retractable mooring ropes, interior lights, dual rear live-wells, full length carpeted rod boxes, and a good sized casting deck. New custom windshields were made for it, as well as recent upholstery. This is one of the nicest deck and interior layouts I have fished and is very family friendly as well as very fishable. Unlike most Nitros, this one has extended deck on both sides long enough to lay rods without any rod tips hanging off, while at the same time leaving room to sit down behind the deck in the center. There is still plenty of front deck to fish off of without feeling cramped. That is why this made a great all round boat for the Lake Cabin, and to entertain people without feeling any fishing compromise. The rod boxes and storage are very nice inside with original carpeting. There are other cool options as well such as hydraulic rod box lifts, and retractable rod hold downs. We just added brand new hydraulic gas assists for the rod boxes. Also new integrated rod hold down straps for both ends of the rods on both sides of the deck. There are two full length rod boxes. Boat just got interior detail and carpet throughout. I plan to pull the motor after this sells. Power steering stays as does the trolling motor, in dash flasher, and graph. This cockpit is classic in style and still quite pleasing to be in. This is a boat the whole family can appreciate without any compromise to a serious bass fisherman. The boat appears fresh and sporty, and is a real legitimate bass boat for a big Lake. It was my wife's favorite boat so far, and it made us feel safe, especially at night. The decks are wide and the boat is very stable when walking around. It is roomy, comfortable, gives a dry ride, and does not make guest feel like they are in a "fishing boat". It has a pleasant feel a lot of more costly boats do not have. It was our primary lake boat for three or four years. This is a large boat for a 20 footer, with the rear deck at six feet four inches wide on the inside. The front deck was always one of the largest in the industry for a 20 foot bass boat. It makes for a stable fishing platform when moving around. Do not try to compare this to 17, 18, or 19 foot boats. In fact, it is hard to find another 20 footer with this amount of room and stability. These are not the slowest boats on the market either, but the Nitro does not get its speed from narrow shallow hull layouts as others do. This is a very enjoyable boat, however compared to the boat I think this is a really crappy trailer. It is rough compared to any of the nice shiny and smooth trailers I have had. Looks like crap to me. It was fine for me because the boat stayed on the boat lift at our cabin. My ego would not let me be satisfied pulling this around everywhere without working it over first. It does pull fine though. This boat will be available for local pickup, or I might be willing to tow it within a couple hundred miles of Tulsa. Call with any questions. Hank 918-230-7427
