Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

I personally would not buy someone else’s unfinished project, especially not for $14k. I don’t know much about hull extensions but that looks huge.

Might be a little lacking in floatation for moving engine weight that far aft? I know I'd like a little more flotation in the stern of mine and it's shorter.

There’s a fine line between function and aesthetics. It probably could have been much shorter and the motor would still trim up. The deck on top of the pod is also extended which makes it look even bigger than it is.

That guy could have got more buoyancy without putting the motors that far back

Maybe his main goal was a big deck to dive off of. Who knows. Not every boat serves us fishy guys that want to tackle stupid rough weather in small boats

I definitely would proceed with caution, but if it all checks out and is solid, it's not too bad. They're great old boats. It was $12k when I posted, and it looks like the price has been bumped up, but if you can get it for $8-10k, I think it’s a good buy. The trailer looks decent, and for someone capable of doing the rest of the work themselves and finding a decent used motor, you’d have a great West Coast fishing machine.

That’s this clowns MO. Msg him about that old fibre pro pod months ago, 5 min after he responded the price of the add doubled. He’s a shady character.

Really nice and well maintained Wolf. Some might complain about higher engine hours but running an engine and maintaining it well will have it last longer than just sitting in my experience.

One of the best deals post covid. Autopilot and new trailer and kicker, 21 feet. Guys are still asking way to much for a 2004- 18 foot Hewescraft

I think the owner is lying about the dimension. Maybe they lost the first 3 feet of their tape measure. Looks more like an 17-18. You wouldn't power a 21 Wolf with a 115, nor put one on that trailer. The 115 looks proportional to the pictures which confirms the length is off considerably. It ain't the deal the add suggests. Hence it's been up for a while.

I agree it looks like an 18 foot hull, maybe the owner measured the LOA...? Still a nice little boat regardless, especially considering what a brand new silver streak 18 costs these days.
 
What a silly debate this always ends up being. Eventually everything will be measured LOA, it makes the most sense.
 
I’m with you on this one! That is a solid boat with an aluminum floor and stiffening rub rails. Unlike the cookie cutter production boats that ask as much or more… I’m taking that one all day if I was looking in that size range.
 
Big difference between the hull that continues past the transom to provide flotation vs a bracket that holds the motor off the back. I believe the longer hull will often provide a better ride. Something for everyone to watch out and ask about. Good questions to ask, what is the length from the tip of the bow (not the anchor or anchor pulpit) to the transom and what is the beam. Still a nice looking package but not like a 21 silverstreak or priced like one. Other hull is a 21 Hewescraft searunner that will be easier to dent but may have a better ride then the old wolf due to longer hull.IMG_4513.jpegIMG_4512.jpeg
