Re: Bolger Bantam for sale. Asking $9500.
Hi can you give some details about the boat? Materials used in the build? Deviations from plans? Additional photos? Thanks!
Time to finally admit I have too many health problems to do the kind of boating I used to enjoy. The Bantam, Drifter, is located in Superior, WI. It's on an aluminum single axle trailer. I have towed this 12000 miles around the country with a V 6 Kia mini van, which I no longer own, so putting the boat in the water for that kind of testing is not possible as I no longer own a vehicle capable of towing the boat.
I wrote a story about cruising with this boat during a winter in Florida that was serialized in MAIBs in 2007, I
think:) Also, with the photos in color, at Duckworks Magazine. Go to the archives in January of 2008, A winter in Florida.
The boat is in good shape overall, repainted summer of 2012. Has the 25 high thrust Yamaha and a trolling motor with remote control on the bow that acts as a bow thruster so can turn in it's own length.
For now this is the only place I'm posting as by the time it could get into MAIBs I will be gone for the winter so no point :)
Anyone interested email me for any more questions.
