Hi all.
Meet my new ride, a 15.5' 1997 Valco Westcoaster with a 97 (I think) Honda 25hp 4 stroke and a EZ Loader galvanized trailer!
Amazingly enough I heard of this deal from my wife! She works with "my" bass player; the boat belonged to an old friend of "my" bass player. LOL I had to kid him about him asking her before me.
The boat was used for about five years & then sat for 6-7 years; I had to put in a impeller ($26.00 and 30min. of my time) because the original was toast from sitting so long. Also the 3 batteries that came with it are long dead. Besides that everything is immaculate!

I paid $1500.00.
