Mckee Craft 172 Backwater Center Console

2001 Mckee Craft 172 Backwater center console boat with a 2000 Johnson 90hp V4 outboard. This boat is in Excellent condition for it's age and has been garage kept and it shows. It is perfect for either fishing or family recreational boating duties. The length is 17'2" with a 84" beam and it rides smooth and dry in choppy water. There are 6 onboard storage compartments which includes a helm seat cooler and 10 rocket launcher tube style rod holders with 4 additional bow handrail mounted rod holders for a total of 14 poles max. All of the upholstery cushions were just replaced new in 2023. The transom has a Panther adjustable motor mount that allows for up to a 25hp kicker motor but currently it has a 62# electric trolling motor with a telescoping handle that can be operated from the helm bench seat. There is a newer Lowrance Elite 4 Color GPS fishfinder mounted at the helm. The Johnson outboard runs perfect. It starts easily, idles quietly, shifts gears smooth, and accelerates strong. The engine maintenance is all up to date, I just changed the water pump impeller, gear oil, spark plugs, choke solenoid, and installed a new carburator kit which included gaskets, floats, needles, and seats for both carbs in October 2023. I also installed a new starter and new white face light up guages on the dash. it recieved new shift and throttle cables, a new throttle box, a new fuel line, and a new oil line in 10/2023. The trailer is a new 2022 Continental Aluminum I-beam adjustable A1830 model which was $3300 last year. It and has LED lights, a safety chain, guide on posts, carpeted bunks, and a spare tire. It tows smooth on the highway and less than 1000 miles on it since new. You don't need a full size truck to tow this rig, a medium sized SUV or minivan should pull it safely because it weighs only approximately 2000lbs. I have caught catfish, striper, crappie, and bass from this boat and I have also used it for pleasure cruising on the river. Mckee Craft boats are built to the same quality standards as Boston Whaler and the founder of the company was a prior Boston Whaler Employee. Boat is located in Cincinnati OH, and well worth the drive to come see it. I also have a video I can send. $14,500. Call/txt 5132843025.
