different design

[Zum]

Seen this boat on ebay Polar Kraft 1571,different looking stern seat.

Cool

That is different! I recently read about that rear seat design; as I recall it's made that way to provide more comfort/ease when using a tiller motor.

 

[Specknreds]

I like it!! It gives you a little more room toward the front.

Looking closer at it, it appears that the box on the stbd side is rigged as a livewell maybe (hose going into rear of box) ? Still has lots of open middle deck space, which I like 8)


Edit: Found a link to a MV 1680. Shows a top view of the rear seat angles:

That's a dang long url isn't it! :shock:

The only thing I don't like about those boats is how narrow the front gets compared to the rear.I'd like it better if the front was a little wider.If I had the money to spend,I'd still buy one.

Hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it. My Lowe gets narrower, but not as quickly as the boat in question. I think some of the Tracker jons may narrow quickly also, but not sure. The Polar Kraft in the pic is a nice boat though! 8)

Here's the ebay link,if you want an idea of what it would cost you:

$1,625.00 for the boat! That's a great price in my book for a new boat! Trailer sold seperate. It states 8% Illinois sales tax, but when I bought both of my rigs out-of-state (1 at BPS Nashville,TN., 1 in Rockport, IN) I paid the state tax of the destination state they would be registered in.

That's still a great price for that boat! 8)

 

[ben2go]

Agree.

That's the current bid, not buy it now price. :wink: It'll probably go for much more. Went to a Polar Kraft dealer last year. I looked at some year old models of their plain 1436 flat bottom jons...they were right at $1000.00. (no trailer) :shock:

They do make nice boats though. I'd love to have their 1886 center console. But I don't have 30k+ to throw around right now. :roll:

Ooops, missed that part.

 

[Zum]

It says it's blemished also.
Probably just a scratch,or paint off.
It's an 06 model.

I do the same thing all the time.

Scroll down the page to the 8th pic, one after the capacity tag pic, and it shows the blemish. Not that bad.

The boat got up to $2200 and it said reserve not met.
If anyone was interested.

 

[Waterwings]

What was the reserve price?

 

[Zum]

Didn't say.

 

[Waterwings]

Probably more than I want to hear, lol :lol:
