1985 McKee craft Offshoresman
Description
Classic 1985 Mckee craft "offshoresman" boat motor and trailer, good sound unsinkable hull. = to Grady white & Boston whalers. Boat is set up for fishing. with dual system live well, large cooler/storage seat, Flats jack hydraulic Jack plate, new steering system,rod holders, Installed new steering system in Nov. 2016, trailer is a galvanized trailer in good cond. tires are good and has bearing buddies, springs are old but not broken. I have both the original center bow section as well as a 1/2 hatch I made for center bow for more leg room by front seat. Boat is rated for up to 160 hp motor but these hulls generally came with a 90-115 hp motor, 100-125 is ideal for these hulls. Boat was from the Dallas area of Texas and used in fresh water until I moved to the south Texas coast in June 2016. I fished it through the summer in salt water but it was always washed and flused at end of day. The 150 Johnson is a 1979 model it is old and finiky until you learn it's quirks. Bolts come out without problems looks like it was rebuilt at one time. I put in new water pump impeller in June of 2016 and cleaned carbs. lower unit seals leak some and require changing gear oil ever few running days or replacing seals.I pressure tested it in June and only leak I found was at the shift lever o ring I had another old 1985 shift lever cap that was good and simply changed the cap out, it may just need a new O ring. I have simply been changing gear oil every couple days of running, it is not emulsfied enough after just a couple days to be ruined I let the old oil seperate a couple days,pour off the good oil and reuse it. Boat is being sold as is. It's a good top quality sound unsinkable hull with an old but servisable motor without a lot of computerized systems to deal with and good trailer. I got another boat from a neigbor that is moving and don't need 2 boats. asking $3200.00 OBO for more photos or questions send message or call 972-730-1670. or 214-532-0585
