Orteneau,

The suggestion that the lift which has held this 170 bass conform to the bunk specifications of the trailer is very good advise. You need to personally compare the two side by side. If the transom was not properly supported by the lift, there will be warping of the rear of the bottom of the hull and the boat will never perform correctly. The hot summers in Florida will probably make the warping problem worse.

If you do purchase this boat, be sure and have the wheel bearings re-packed on the trailer. Also check the tires for checking. Tires have a built in UV shield. Since it is built in, the tire has to be run to keep the UV shield active. This is why a trailer tire that is not run will get check marks much faster than a tire on a car or other behicle that is run frequently.

In central California I fish Shaver the most with Pine Flat second and Milerton third, although I have taken it to other lakes within 100 miles or so.
