There is a beauty on seasport owners forum. Eastern US but a great deal and looks cleanlol - 19ftr not a cure for my 2’itis.
Ever look at Olympics? https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bod/d/everett-reduced1989-olympic-yamaha/7781474542.html 29k for a 22 outboard.I’ve been looking for a used Seasport 22 for the past few months and compared prices and choices across both markets. I also went down to WA and OR and spoke to dealers and private sellers and decided to keep my money closer to myself- lol.
The US economy seems to be in a different trajectory than ours and mid-size boats don’t seem to sit for too long. That gives very limited room for talking the price down and find a “good deal”. Add all those extras and there you have it as a big NO from the boss. That may change in the next few months though with the US feds lowering the interest rates and the election dramas picking up, the US market may soften a bit.
Did you see the cheap gas commander? 22k or something 1990 I think. Take out those engines and goooooo!Yeah no
Yep! My buddy in Sooke has a 25’ Olympia with a Honda OB and it’s a great platform. I’m just hoping that something with a newer outboard (and haul) may just pop up. Can’t think of buying a boat on the east coast sight unseen. There have been a few clean ones showing up lately but none in our neck of the woods yet.Ever look at Olympics? https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bod/d/everett-reduced1989-olympic-yamaha/7781474542.html 29k for a 22 outboard.
Yup,a 22 Seasport especially with an outboard is a very hard find.If you find one you better be the first caller or you won't get it. That is what I wanted and settled for the 1900 Skipper.But always on the prowl for the elusive 22.I’ve been looking for a used Seasport 22 for the past few months and compared prices and choices across both markets.

Haha! Yes, been ready with $$ in hand but haven’t been able to find the boat that checks 80% of the boxes.Yup,a 22 Seasport especially with an outboard is a very hard find.If you find one you better be the first caller or you won't get it.

I already did the full analysis on that scenario and I found that it was almost impossible to finish within a reasonable budget. I just don’t have the patience and the deep pockets to gamble on any I/O conversion project, even if it comes with a leg made out of gold!I don't know if your OK with an I/O model,there are a lot more of those around,mostly Seattle area.I think the only way I'll get an outboard model is to find an I/O model with a dead motor/leg that someone can't afford to renew.Then buy,pod,repower,all very expensive to do.
Sick! Gives me Osprey vibes@Ringo @Rain City

I remember when HaiCo was selling those off when West Coast Resorts folded a few years ago. I think they were 16K for the hull, no engine, trailer or electronics.Sick! Gives me Osprey vibes
One of the guides in Renfrew ran one of those for years, Relentless was the name of the boat, he flipped it 2 years ago crossing nitnat barI remember when HaiCo was selling those off when West Coast Resorts folded a few years ago.

They don’t seem to have the following as the other similar style boats. The last one I saw for sale was a 24’ and it was for sale for at least 6 months or longer and it was up for less than this one.@Ringo @Rain City
