John Crawford Marine has just listed this well optioned and well wrapped, Stessco 4.5m side console sports fishing rig. Now stamped "JCM Certified" after being refurbished, serviced and detailed by the JCM team prior to listing for sale.

The side console design has really taken off over the past few years and would arguably be the most popular aluminium style of boat sold, under 5m. With the console hard over, the cockpit is opened up and the additional space is conducive to setting up the crab pots, flicking lures from the bow casting platform.

Powered by a freshly JCM workshop serviced Mercury 60Hp EFI four stroke that has recorded 600 hours fitted with a Baystar hydraulic steering system and a SE Sport 300 engine foil. The motor has been pre-inspected by our service techs and is further backed with a BIA engine warranty and for those new to boating.

Did you know prior to handover, JCM will take you out for an on-water orientation (allow 2-3 hours turnaround). You don't get this reassurance and service buying privately!

The 60Hp delivers excellent power and fuel economy pushing the rig with speed if desired for the long haul to the fishing grounds with an approx. 60l underfloor fuel tank and will equally pull the kids on a tube or a toboggan. (Ski hooks are fitted ?)

The side console is well laid out and the helm is comfortable for tall people. The console mounts a Raymarine 7" colour screen combo GPS/Sounder. This unit also includes the mapping card and is linked to the Raymarine 3:1 transducer featuring side scan capabilities. Plus a range of Mercury engine instrumentation, 12v power outlet, switching and a storage shelf.

Overhead a large 3 bow bimini offers plenty of shade and when not in use can easily be lowered out of the way.

The transom is well set up with a bait board, plumbed live bait tank, underdeck storage with the battery isolation switch.

Since 1964 we have been buying, consigning and selling only the best range of quality used trailer boats.

At JCM, the advertised price includes our industry leading reputation for our pre-sale due diligence reporting, ensuring we only on-sell warranted and simply the best quality pre-owned trailer boats.

Unless otherwise advertised, our trailers are sold in roadworthy condition, right down to tyre pressure checks and an R- clip being supplied on the trailer coupling!

Other benefits include the supply of the PPSR certificates to guarantee title, complete the administration and pay the associated fees to transfer the balance of QLD registration on the hull and trailer for Qld buyers and back our outboards with a Boating Industry Association warranty.

As part of the delivery process, enjoy the confidence as we share our knowledge on the "how-to's" and some boats are offered with "on-water" tuition and some with a "dry" handover to assist you in familiarising yourself with your boat.
