2014 Pioneer 197 Sportfish - 20ft long - Excellent condition and well maintained - Yamaha 150hp 4-stroke ~600 hours - 500 hour service completed - Simrad GO XSE chartplotter with fish finder - Fusion Bluetooth stereo - ICOM VHF transceiver radio with DSC - Refurbished tandem trailer with SS brakes - Custom cover cost $1,000 - T-bag with life jackets - Livewell with bait cutting board This is a beautiful boat, well built and gets compliments all the time on its looks. It has been very well maintained and serviced. Owner is a bit OCD about cleanliness and maintenance. The boat has always been kept on a lift or the trailer. Motor was always flushed with fresh water after every trip. A custom made cover is included ($1,000 value). The boat cruises very well and gets great gas mileage with the Yamaha F150XA. 8 person capacity per Coast Guard data plate. The flared bow and reverse chines allow it to cut through the chop and direct the spray away from the boat for a dry ride. The foam filled construction is very solid and makes the boat unsinkable. The efficient layout provides more floor space than other boats of this length. Upgraded with a Fusion Bluetooth stereo system and JL Audio speakers, professionally installed. Boat comes with a SIMRAD GO XSE chartplotter with fish finder transducer and NMEA interface for engine data. ICOM VHF transceiver radio with Digital Selective Calling. The attached vinyl cushions are starting to crack, but the removable cushions are in excellent condition. All original owner's manuals and maintenance receipts available. The boat is great for fishing and comes well equipped with T-top and helm seat mounted rocket-launcher rod holders. It has a 32 gallon livewell - with bait cutting board - in the leaning post, which keeps the weight forward to help get the boat on plane when it’s full. Large insulated bow storage compartment with drain for fish or gear. Large storage compartment in the center console. Additional storage located under the back seats and a fishing tackle center on the starboard side of the center console. Tandem axle trailer (much safer than single axle) has been refurbished with new stainless steel brake rotors and brake pads, master cylinder, hubs, bearings, stainless steel pressurized bearing protectors, aluminum bunk brackets, bunk carpet, and all new wiring connectors. Newer tires with no cracks that are always covered to prevent UV degradation. Over $2,000 spent on the trailer alone. The brakes and lights work so you don’t have to worry about getting a ticket when you take it to the Keys. NEW dual marine deep-cycle batteries, throttle cable, tilt helm, steering cylinder seals, bilge float switch, Rule livewell pump, and front nav light. Engine 500 hour maintenance completed with genuine Yamaha parts: impeller, engine oil, lower unit oil, fuel filters, zincs. All around this has been such an awesome boat. It will easily handle 4 ft seas. We have taken it to the Pennekamp reefs and Looe Key, which are amazing. We have upgraded to a larger boat, so this one needs a new home.
