Model Information   Boat = 2006 Hurricane 198REF Fun Deck        Motor = 2005 Yamaha VMAX 150TLRD (150 HP) Trailer = 2006 Roadrunner   Description This is an amazing boat. I bought it from a doctor two years ago when he relocated to Denver (he was the only prior owner), and it’s been an amazing ride for me and my family ever since. It only had 80 hours on the motor when I got it (so lightly used), and it was covered and stored when not in use so the interior was (and still is) in immaculate condition. The hull is also in great condition. The boat fits nine people and is great for cruising around the lake with your family and friends (whether they are in the boat or you are pulling them behind you on skies or on a tube). It’s also a great fishing boat. It’s got about a 12 inch draft, which means you can get into very shallow areas when you pull the motor up. If you’re looking for a great all-around boat to cruise the lakes or the bays on the coast, this boat covers it all.   I’m selling the boat because I’m buying a new one. If you’re interested, call me at 210-560-7477.   Key Features   The Yamaha VMAX 150 HP is an awesome motor. It doesn’t just sound amazing when you turn it on, it provides you with more power than you will ever need for this boat. Whether you’re pulling a skier in tow or cruising with 7 or 8 people on board, the Yamaha delivers the necessary power with ease. I replaced the stock prop (which is now a spare that comes with the boat) with a stainless steel 3-blade Yamaha prop, and you can get her up to 45 MPH with four or five people on board. Power is not an issue with this boat. I’ve only put about another 40 hours or so on the motor, which means you’ve got plenty of life left to last you for years. I’ve done all the winterizing and summerizing along with other required maintenance, and I’m happy to walk you through it if you’re interested in the boat.   Extras Snap on boat cover                                         Snap in carpets Bimini top (provides shade across half the boat).              Fishing chairs (two) Livewell                                                Troll motor wiring                                            Lowrance X52 fish finder                                              Jensen CD player                                             Table                                     Changing room                                 Ski tow bar                                          Docking lights                                    Hydraulic steering Extra prop   ***Some Things to Note There are a few things you should take into account. First, it’s an older boat, so it has some dings and scratches and there’s some fading on the outside panels, as you would expect. However, it’s in fantastic condition for a ten year old  boat. Second, it needs a new wiring harness and/or some new fuses for the switch board. This doesn’t impact the operation of the motor at all. The motor is directly wired to two batteries and works perfectly fine. The bilge pump is also directly wired to the battery, so that works as well. But if you want to use the fish/depth finder, the stereo, lights, etc., you need to look into the wiring issue. I’ve taken $1,500 bucks off the FMV retail price so you can spend some money to fix on your own (or to have someone look at it). Again, it does not affect the operation of the boat. Finally, the trailer needs some new carpeting wrapped around the supports and some new wheel guards. Both can be done DIY in about two to three hours. If you can handle operating a boat, you should be able to handle these minor details without much trouble.
