So after 2 years fishing out of my 15' 1992 Smokercraft Alaskan, I decide that it was time to get a new boat. I did alot of shopping on line for 3 months and finally found a great deal on a 2005 Jetcraft 1625 LTD. It came with a 2010 4 stroke Mercury 60 horse EFI and a 50 lb thrust Minkota bow mounted foot controlled trolling motor. I added a 2003 Mercury 4 stroke 5 horse kicker. I had a buddy mount it and he ran the gas line to my main tank. He also installed a controll arm so I could steer it from the steering wheel. I installed 2 Cannon Easi- Troll downriggers on top of 2 swivel mounts. There are 4 Scotty rod holders and a color Hummingbird fish finder. I got the trim areas painted to match my Jeep. I upgraded the seats to Cabelas brand Pro Angler 2. I'm done with add-ons for now until spring. I'll be adding a new top gun top from Extreme Covers with side curtains and custom rims and tires for the trailer. I can't wait till next kokanee season and put my boat to good use:)

Thanks guys!! I was only able to take it out once before I winterized it and she ran perfect. She will be out on the water at least once or twice a week this coming spring. The waiting until then is brutal though!!
 
I have to agree, Now that I have the boat that I should have gotten all along, I can't wait to get it back out . I didn't get it until late fall.
 
Gongrats on the new ride. I know when I upgraded it was awesome. In fact, I made my last payment yesterday on my boat and NOW she's all mine titles in hand. Anyone wanna buy a boat????????

Nice boat. Those seats look like they could be original. I am sure it has plenty of Arrowrock and Lucky Peak Kokes in it's future. You will have to post another Picture when you get the top done. See you on the lake next spring.
