Howdy folks! Wanted to say that from Lubbock County Texas. Been looking for something easier than my pontoon to fish from, run jugs and trot lines. Last week I bought a 2007 Lowe side console 1852, with a 2007 Mercury 40hp 4 stroke. Older gentleman (88) bought it in 2011 and used it at a local lake 3 times. This suckers clean, not a dent, ding or scratch, just a little sun faded. Anyway, it hadn't been cranked since last spring and had a 1/2 full tank. Wouldn't crank, surprise surprise! Took it to my new boat guy who replaced the fuel pump, changed oil/filter, serviced lower unit and replaced impeller. Purrs like a kitten. Invited my dad (65) to the local lake for a short test run. That thing is all I expected and was cheap. Even came with 3 good batteries, a dual bank charger, Bimini, 2 anchors and everything needed to hit the water. I've begun a few small mods like removing the huge stick steer trolling motor that was mounted dead center of the front deck. Am currently gathering supplies to extend the front deck 18" and some other small things. Have pics on my phone and will attempt to learn how to post them. More to come. I've been reading and eyeing posts and have lots of new ideas thanks to y'all.
