DESCRIPTION:

Beautifully refreshed 1997 Scout 185 Sportfish. This boat has been in our family since 2001 and has been well cared for throughout its ownership. The Johnson 150 2-stroke was completely rebuilt and has approximately 35 hours since the rebuild. The boat and motor have been thoroughly gone through, with everything freshened up and ready to use. Recent updates include: • Freshly rebuilt Johnson 150 ~35 hours • New OEM VRO oil-injection/fuel pump • New upholstery • New marine radio • New VHF • New decals • Aluminum float-on trailer • Two new trailer tires with less than 200 miles on them • New trailer hub/bearing assembly • Extensive service history with detailed records going back years We have maintained, updated, and enjoyed this boat as a family for more than 25 years. We had the boat accessible for use on davits behind our house for majority of that time in NE St Petersburg. Trailer rarely got use other than to run up to Homassassa River every few years. A great opportunity to own a classic Scout with a documented history, freshly rebuilt powerplant, and many of the significant maintenance items already addressed. — Located in St. Petersburg, FL Serious inquiries welcome. More photos and service records available to interested buyers.
