Brownsville Tony Loc: Brownsville - Laguna Madre
 
Well at a minimum I'm looking at two surgeries this summer and then I'll be 84 years old. When I was considering selling the boat earlier this spring I got a couple of PM's from stagers who indicated they would be interested if I decided to sell, but I really didn't want to face that so I didn't make a note of them. I'm pretty sure I have a standing offer from a guide who told me he would like to have it as a single customer boat because it's the best two-man platform for the flats he has ever used. So, here are the highlights.

The boat is a 2005 Bayseaker made in Hamlin, Texas. She's 19'2", casting decks fore and aft. The company, and the molds, burned down a few years ago and they went out of business. You can ask any Texas boat dealer about Bayseaker's reputation and they will tell you the boats rank right up there with the biggies.

The motor is a 2020 Mercury 90 HP 4 stroke with about 100 hours on it. All the control cables were replaced when I repowered. It turns right at 6000 and fully fueled and 3 people she'll do about 23 knots.

It has a remote control Haswing 60 lb thrust trolling motor and a Garmin striker 4 contour mapping fish finder. Clean titles on the boat and engine but the trailer has never been licensed. I keep the boat at an indoor storage marina so I never use the trailer.

Saturday we're going to take pictures and Captain Todd is going to price her out. I can tell you she's white, tight and pretty. I've never had a better boat and I've owned whalers and Rangers.

To a good home only, and I'm serious! PM me

Beautiful boat, with great functionality I'm sure! I wish I had room for it to use here in Northern Michigan! Good luck on your sale...I'm sure that the next owner will be pleased as punch to call it their own!

Sorry to hear you're giving her up Tony, but it's your decision. I'm sure you'll get top dollar for her, because she's well cared for. Good luck, I hope you find the right buyer.

Oh, it's a honey, not a thing wrong with it. It catches fish! I have been in it many times and I would love to have it, but I have a pontoon and a Crestliner and that is enough for me.

I was quite moved today when I talked to the owner of the marina. He told me "there will always be a boat for you here, my Dargel is at your disposal, anytime you want it." But, I haven't been boatless in many years, even if it was only a kayak. So, you bought the pontoon, huh? The $90 grand one? You going to haul it down next year?

I wish I was younger too, RJ....lol And I wish none of us were crippled up. Getting old is not for sissies and I've been way too lucky for way too long.

Hey Tony!
Sorry to hear you're selling your boat, looks like a nice set up! 2 surgeries for this summer - I hope you're healed up for surf fishing later on this winter. I'll be sure to check with you when I get back.

Like FlyGuy, I've been on this boat on many fishing trips with Tony and can vouch for her dependability and performance. If I were a younger man I would buy it in a heart beat!
So, she identifies as "white, tight and pretty"? Are you sure you want to go with that description? LOL

You shouldn't have a problem getting top $$ for it.

I wish you luck selling your boat and all goes well with your surgery. I'm only 64 having almost my whole lower lumber fused and huge bone spurs removed this month on the 25th. I have had pretty bad reactions from passed surgery. I'm going under for 8 hours or more depending on damages they find. But until I six feet under dirt, I won't sell my boat
