120 Horsepower Fishing Setup 1972 17.5" Fiberform Inboard Motor Boat with Full Enclosure Canopy
For sale is our loved "Jolene", as we have bought another boat with a cabin to fare a bit better on the high seas. Comes with E-Z loader trailer with a spare tire, 2" ball and 4-pin flat electrical hookup. All registered.
Body: 17.5 foot Fiberform by Canadian Fiberform Ltd., Canadian made in Kelowna. This old gal has been a loyal B.C. local her whole life since she was registered in 1972. The fiberglass is still strong with minimal bruises - a new paint job might breathe a bit more life into 'er. Perks include a rear port kicker mount and spacious glovebox.
Seats: 6 seats total – the front 4 fold down to make bench seats if desired (with small storage compartment underneath either way) and the rear 2 have substantial storage. One is fully available, the other has dual battery system within taking up about half of it. Upholstery generally strong with some expected wear and tear.
Canopy: Full enclosure with see-through poly window for convenient navigation in cold, wet, or rainy conditions. Front flap zipper allows for convenient access to the bow to stow ropes/crab traps, get a better view, or re-enact the scene from Titanic where Jack and Rose stand at the front of the ship. (Re-enacting other scenes from Titanic not recommended). Side zippers allow the entire rear to be taken off for fishing or recreating, while keeping the front in place. Far more extensive and customizable than a bimini top.
Engine: 120 HP OMC Stern Drive gasoline inboard, model no. CUFM19EX. She's old but true; reliable start even from cold on a well-charged battery; ether occasionally comes in handy after winter but usually not necessary. Could use a good carb clean/tune, and the belt is starting to look rough. To Oil can never be changed too often.

-2x old fashioned scotty downrigger mounts with 2x rod holders,
-1x Scotty 26" manual downrigger and mount with bar-mounted rod holder,
