Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

Sweet boat and looks like a a real tank (in a good way). I'm curious about the use case for this design (strange water taxi, considering how small the cabin is). Bulletproof / rough water design, twin power, big rear deck, great helm setup, but the interior looks very spartan and somewhat unfinished (exposed spray foam) - its also tiny. I'm curious if the measured LOA is 23ft including motors, or hull only?

I don't know what you would compare it against? A 24' Silver Streak Swiftsure? A 21' ft Renfrew? how much do those go for, and how much more are you going to have to put into this to get an equivalent level of finish?

I could think that it makes a strong case as a medium distance year-round cabin commuter that is 'built', and that huge rear deck would be great for prawn / crab traps / building materials - just not sure that you'd actually want to be out on the water for more than a few hours in this thing.

Interesting to see that both motors are standard rotation - likely makes zero difference, but just one of those things you might notice.

Pretty much my thoughts too. But I'm drawn more to the good kind of tanks vs the cookie-cutter aluminums with paint and plywood floors (example: Raider/Kingfisher/etc). This is a sweet boat for somebody.

It's 3x the cost, but when I saw a Jasper Defender in this size, I was blown away by how nicely finished it was. Seemed way brighter and roomier with all the Euro glass. But in reality, you're not getting any more boat. This is a good buy for someone that can do a bit of finishing work inside.

I've seen the same Defender at Burrard Civic, and feel the same way. That is an amazing boat. What's Jasper selling those for $200k+?

I actually really like/respect that COPE boat for exactly what it is, but its probably a small pool of potential buyers. My long term plan/dream is to look for a cabin property up in Pitt Lake, and this would be exactly the kind of boat I'd look for. Commute time is only an hour, so no need for a head or dinnette, and the huge rear deck would be great for building materials. Cabin heat makes this useable 12 months of the year, and the overall design/redundant power gives you the confidence that you could actually use it all year long in almost any weather. I know some guys with cabins up on Nelson Island, and they would have a similar use case.

The owners of this one have a cabin on Nelson Island as well. That was their intention when they bought/built it. Keep it as a commuter/prawning rig for the kids to run. But they have too many boats currently

To be clear , I don't think this Raider is the same builder as Raider today. Pretty sure this was built in the Anniville ( Gunderson ) slough in Delta. I was working as a Marine mechanic at Crest Marine in the same slough at that time.
 
I realize this is likely too old to generate any real interest, and I expect it will go cheap - but that guy obviously put in some serious elbow grease to get it that clean. Pride of ownership is evident and worth the shout out

It's a great little boat and well maintained. I had a chance to have first crack at it because it's a friends boat. The interior is unfinished but it was rigged by Mcdonald Marine in Powell River who are very thoughtful and thorough. It was used as a crew boat for two years to run from Powell River to Hardy Island so not a lot of abuse. I really wanted to like it but it was just too small for my needs. The fishing deck is a great size though. Definitely a good buy for someone looking for this size and finish.

90k hull
30k engines
20k rigging and other stuff

It's the 90k for that bare hull with windows and a door that boggles my mind.
 
Sorry but $120K is too much for that '23 Cope.

Nice hull, but unfinished, super basic, work boat, no trailer...

They're 150 into it. I agree that the guys selling the hulls are the ones being greedy.
