This boat is a 24 foot 1985 Eastport. It was my commercial fisherman buddys project, that he never really got around to. Unifortunately he passed away last December. His wife asked me to get it out of her yard [bad memories] and help her sell it.She is asking $3500.00 or a decent offer for the boat and trailer. The boat is at my boat shop now in Jupiter Fl. The trailer rolls pretty good down the road, I would still go thru the usual before any long trip. This boat is definitely a project. It reminds me of an old Novi lobster boat that a gang used to diver hunt out of on the Great South Bay back in the 60's. I was clamming then and sometimes I would be working a half mile or so downwind from their rig. I can still smell their coal stove. I dont know if their tender driver had bad eyesight, or if he thought they were doing me a favor, but I was usually able to go home with a limit too, without ever firing a shot. I could see an armstrong bracket with a 150 4 stroke on the back, close in the pilot house, a propane stove,a big pot of duck stew on the stove, the tender tied off the transom, and two layout boats in the rig. Of coures a bottle of Jack, just in case anyone fell in the water! My cell is 561 262 6428, if you want more info. Rich
