Salesman Remarks

 

The Big Boyd is a highly successful, exceptionally maintained fishing machine having won numerous local tournaments with the awards to prove it. She is seriously for sale as her owner is moving up to a larger sportfish and would consider a 52-60 quality late model in trade.

Don’t let this opportunity get away…this is really a nice boat!!!
