Back Country 1997

Seize the chance to own a unique and completely refurbished 1997 Back Country 171 Pro Guide flats boat. This vessel started as a standard model, typical for its 27 years, but underwent a comprehensive transformation. The deck and hull were separated, granting full access to all wiring and plumbing, which were completely replaced along with the fuel tank and hardware. The interior hull was meticulously cleaned and coated. Upon reassembly, the rub rail was upgraded to a stainless steel version with integrated navigation lights. The deck features an eye-catching non-skid surface that sparkles in the sunlight. The helm seat has been reupholstered with a custom design, and the helm wheel has been replaced with a stylish paracord-wrapped stainless wheel, now part of a new Seastar hydraulic steering system. The upgraded electrical system includes three Optima marine batteries and a three-bank charging setup. A Rhodan 80lb saltwater trolling motor has been added at the bow, operated through a Garmin touchscreen MFD/navigator, which also controls and monitors all systems except for lights and pumps. For your on-water entertainment, a Rockford Fosgate stereo system is included. The Back Country 171 Pro Guide is designed with ample storage for its size, featuring two locking rod lockers in the gunwales, each capable of holding three rods. The rear casting deck boasts two live wells, one being a live-release option, alongside a storage compartment or fish box. The forward casting deck is home to an expansive storage compartment/fish box. Powering this boat is a 2024 Mercury 115 ProXS engine, which comes with an extended warranty until 2030. The engine is operated via a fully electronic Command Thrust throttle and is mounted on a Seastar Xtreme jack plate, controlled by a joystick at the helm. A poling platform protects the engine from stray branches and impacts. This Back Country 171 Pro Guide stands out as a fully modernized vessel, far exceeding its original factory capabilities. Don’t let this extraordinary opportunity slip away!
