Here's some pics..we all love pics! This is a 1986 Blue Fin 16'2" Walk thru. Has a 1986 50 'Rude with VRO. EZ Loader painted trailer. Found this on craigslist. Didn't have aclue what it was worth, but finagled it down to $2600.
Bought from the original owner who boated summers only in Michigan. He moved here this past year and needed to sell. Great paint, interior and accessories. Vinyl bow dodger, zip in side curtains and bimini all in great shape. He says the little rig "really scoots"!!
I can move it around by hand inside the garage.
just had to get this for our Florida get togethercoming up in May. Just didn't feel comfortable with the Key West on that lake! Enjoy some pics...

AWESOME! Congratulations on the great deal!

I saw that ad on Craigslist (I live in your area) and thought it sounded like a steal if the right price could be obtained.

Way to go!

great find, now mount a wireless remote troller on the bow, 45 lb will handle it well. i love my Motor Guide WP45. it is on it's 4th boat. and a pedistal seat of the bow platform.
