Best west coast fishing boat under 80k

[Bubba1229]

I'm considering getting a new/newer boat but haven't been in the market for some time.
Was looking for opinions on good all around fishing boats around 80k? Ideally something under 20-24' with an outboard and some protection from the weather. Have owned older K&Cs and Double Eagles in the past.
Thanks in advance.

A few more details will help. Do you need a trailer? How many people do you fish with most of the time and what’s the max number you will take out in what months of the year? How long do you go for? Do you go offshore, swiftsure, ratsnose? What do you mean by new? 80k might get you a used 20 foot aluminum soft top that is less than 3 years old or a double eagle 206?

Two of my personal favourites worth mentioning with small cuddles and bigs decks:

Seasport 22
Arima 21

19' Arima Sea chaser with a 150 HP 4 stroke outboard would be top of my list.

Depending on who you are fishing with a small cuddle may be welcome after loosing a big fish. Other times not so much.............

I do like both of these as well but they are completely different riding boats in rough conditions. The Arima will pound in rough sea. If you don’t go far out often then the Arima is a cheaper boat to run. There is a decent US based one in the buy sell fully set up you could look at although our dollar is crap

2359 Trophy. 2 of my buddies have owned them. Great boats nodded or not.

I have a 16ft Harborcraft (now Kingfisher) and I am very happy with it; catches lots of fish). I wish it was a little bigger (we all get onefootitis eh?) but it was all I could afford at the time, a smokin' good deal in the USA. It was under $10 Grand (CDN) including travel expenses going down to get it and it came fully loaded (downriggers, life jackets etc, etc. Because it was built in Canada; NO DUTY. The customs lady was a princess, didn't notice a motor. It is not a rough water boat but who wants to fish in rough water anyway? This type of boat may not be what you are looking for but what I'm saying is have a look south of the border before making a decision, there are some really good deals to be had even with the nasty exchange rate.

I thought there was one for sale in Sidney with a broker for about 40k?

Arima's have a low top if I recall? While a seasport, I believe, has 6 feet stand up in them but would likely be over 80k if newer, close to 120k, I would think.

 

[trophywife]

no matter what brand, besides baygrinder, i strongly suggest a wash down deck.

 

[Brando]

turn key in that size hard to beat a 23’ Grady

 

[Stizzla]

The odd refurbished Houston 23 comes up around there. Striper 26 could be around that as well.
Nothing wrong with a Whaler either

 

[Bubba1229]

Thanks for the replies, looking at a few options now but strongly considering a brand new Double eagle 206EXT. Mostly do inshore fishing and I like the hull design. Anyone own one or have experience with them?

 

[Stizzla]

Amazing boat. I got the baby brother 185.
You’ll be closer to 100k-110k price point. for the 206 I would think with some rigging
