16ft smokercraft, lodge edition. 40 Yami tiller. Had to yank it out of the snow today. Pretty cool little boat. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/VvsRz7Zk/A53-CC9-E0-911-B-42-D2-9-AC4-39-F4600-C8-E5-A.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Dw4cf46L/808-C338-F-0-AB2-46-BD-9636-C99068112835.jpg)

The Yamaha a 4 stroke? I’m perpetually searching for specific aluminum v bottom boats and find the used market to be flat out insane. Curious how you did on that purchase?

That with a 40? That should come out of the water nice. That’s a killer crabbing/fishing boat in the upper Chesapeake.

Motor itself might be worth 5000. Looks like a great fishing boat

I have a 15 foot Lund with a 30 Mercury 4 stroke for the same purpose. A light aluminum boat is awesome for remote unimproved launches. I launched mine out of a beach once.
I am still a Mercury guy, but I am gradually learning that Yamaha is a better engine. I live on the big water. I know a lot of people who use Yamahas hard, and love the durability.

I bought an 18’ aluminum w 50 hp Yamaha for just a bit more than that last year. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/N5bJOI0.jpg)

Sounds like you did pretty good. Boat prices are crazy right now down in Florida where I'm at.
