Sorry for the long post - lots included in this package!

This boat has been meticulously cared for, is in great condition and has served us well for the past 8 years. We are selling only because we purchased a bigger boat last fall. Over $10,000 invested in the past 4 years in upgrades and maintenance, principally related to the engine and electronics upgrade in 2020 (receipts available).

We purchased from it from the original owner in 2016 who kept the boat in a garage and used it primarily in fresh water lakes.

Over the past 8 years she has been our commuter from Horseshoe Bay to Gambier Island. The deep V hull design makes it an exceptional boat for BC’s lakes and saltwater coastal exploring/fishing.

Very fuel efficient - cruises at 22 knots @ 3900 rpm; wide open it does 34 knots @ 5400 rpm

Deal includes:

1988 Double Eagle 166 – solid floor, stringers and transom; seating for 6; built in ~80 L fuel tank with full tank of fuel; walk through window to bow; removable bimini and slope-back canvas; usb charger; swim deck with ladder; kicker bracket; original seats in excellent condition.

2013 Evinrude ETEC 90 with Solas stainless prop – professionally installed in 2020; serviced annually; fuel/tach/engine trim gauges; very easy engine to maintain and winterize

1988 EZ Loader trailer – many recent upgrades; near new tires; Axel/hubs/bearings replaced be previous owner

Thank you and agreed! We moved up to a 20' Silverstreak hardtop and the extra space is great for our groceries and winter commuting. That said I absolutely loved the DE and the upgrade from the 1988 Merc "2 smoke" to a modern ETEC really was a game changer!

10k in 4 years! What a dream.
 
Much of that spend is wrapped up in the repower and electronics upgrade in July 2020 and I've updated the listing to better reflect that. Thank you.

$6K for the ETEC 90, $600 for the Helix Chartplotter/sounder, $2.2K for Lordship Marine to remove the 1988 Merc and install the ETEC, sounder, new fuse block, shift cables, fuel line, other misc, etc...)
