Hello, I have been a reader for a while now to the plethora of information and knowledge shared on this forum. Up until now I have not need to post to solve my issues but I have been stumped lately.
My vessel is a 1983 Trophy 2260 Fisherman. I picked it up on the side of the road for a measly $1200 in great shape. There are no soft spots and the engine runs pretty well. It also has a nice kicker mount. The downside is the exterior seating is pretty deteriorated and there were no electronics in on the vessel (not a big deal as I had a brand new Simrad NSS 7 Evo 2 with total scan transducer for my other vessel that never got used, long story) or an adequate bilge system.
The vessel is mainly going to be used to fish the great lakes (Superior and Michigan) as well as some larger inland lakes.
I am a mechanical engineer by trade and a mechanic by hobby so repairs are no sweat. I look forward to helping contribute knowledge and know-how to the forum!
