Do you still have the Esh Esh Connery? What would you like to get for it.?

He's hanging out at the inlaws still. I think $5500 is a fair starting point.

Check out MN a guy can often save a fairly big chunk of change by buying over there.

I picked up an 18' Lund Alaskan with a 50hp Yamaha tiller a few years back in Detroit Lakes for much less than anything I found around Bis.

To the guy that asked "what's a river boat"....if we're talking the Missouri in the Bismarck area, nothing less than 21 ft fiberglass with 300 hp minimum

You go with the lund fury? I have been in the same postion as you the last couple year but am looking for a smoking good deal, dont need another boat but sure would be nice for a few of the smaller lakes around that don't have a camp just backing off a ditch.

One of the problem with prices on these smaller used boats is that nobody really buys new boats this size anymore, so the used market never has more inventory. Its kind of a rotation of the same 70's-80's red Lunds with a few 90's-00's. These boats hit a certain price and just never go down anymore, in fact with the outrageous cost of new boats, they almost start to increase in value again at a certain point if they are well taken care of.

Do most prefer a tiller for the river, or is a console preferred to be sitting more forward in the boat to spot trouble?

I have a crestliner sc 16.5 with a 90hp great river boat. Ive had a tiller before and the reason i went with a sc was when you get into a cross wind the water breaks and throws a shower on the back not on me.

For some reason tillers seem to be thought of as better river boats. I've owned a 16' Lund tiller for 17 years and although its a great little boat boat, yes it can be hard to see objects from the back of the boat, yes they are colder, and yes they are wetter. There are many times i wish i had about a 17.5 single counsel.
