Wanted stick steer boat

[wstag]

I'm a new member looking for a nice and clean stick steer boat. I prefer fiberglass but will consider an aluminum.
Models like War Eagle, Xpress, Royal, Pro Gator, Kingfisher, Tide Craft Etc
Any direction on finding one will be appreciated.

A good one is hard to find. Took me over a year to find mine. If no one jumps on here watch Dallas craigs list. I found a couple down there but were higher than I wanted to pay and to far to travel. I have a Wareagle 754VS and will put it up against any of the others.

Word to the wise. Up here in Yankee land . You don't see many stick steering rigs. Got tired of searching for one. Bought a 13-1/2 skiff. Did all the rigging myself and made me a really efficient fishing machine. One fine spring day I pull it out to wash and shine her up. Just as I finished guy pulls in my driveway. Says don't bother putting a " For Sale " sign on her I will take it. I tell him that the rig is not for sale. He replies nonsense everything has a price to it. I shake my head and start to push boat back in my two boat ( most people have car garages) garage. He whips out his checkbook and says name your price. I stay with the not for sale reply. He goes back to car and I think he finally accepted the no. Wrong. He brings back a notebook the paper kind. Writes a figure down and says will that do it. I reply that is more than the rig is worth but I still don't want to sell since its my sweat , ideas and rigging. Without blinking he increases the figure another 50%. Now I would be a fool not to sell ( financially ). So I sell it. A little richer but far from happy. Next year I decide I missed the stick rig so much. I am going to convert my console Starcraft to a stick system. Order a new stick steer from EZY-Glide. Get it all laid out just have to wait for warmer weather to install. Same story different guy and not as high as profit. My 25 HP 2-Stroke is what caught this ones eye as he lives on 25HP limit lake. Once again richer but wondering what in the world.

My cousin was visiting me when this happened on the 2nd boat. after guy leaves with boat in tow. He has heard story about the first boat. Why in the world don't you open a boat sales place here. Told him when I retired I meant it.

Only boat I have left now is a 16' Lund Angler II. Tiller steering with a 20HP 4 stroke Nissan. I have it set up perfectly for how I like to fish. With the exception of stick steering. I will not tempt fate by installing it in the Lund. The Ezy-Glide is still hanging.

Moral of story- If you buy one don't sell like the " dummy " I was.

I got real lucky and found a nice 1999 Duracraft SS (aluminum) with a 40 Yamaha on it. Guy bought it for his grandkids to fish in at his lake house but they all wanted to ride in was his pontoon. Been sitting in his garage with about 50 hours on it when I bought it last year. Really nice with carpet and live well etc. However, if I had the money I would get one of the Royal stick steer boats made in Alabama. They are fiberglass and are the top of the line in stick steer boats.
