Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

this is one I keep going back to… at just under CAD$200K I feel like this is way better value than many out there - but maybe I’m just trying to convince myself it’s a good deal

2007 Skagit Orca 27 XLC w/ twin 175 Suzukis and relatively low hours. USD$135K

I keep looking at this listing, and then look at USDCAD, and crying.

I got a copy of the survey and boat looks super clean. Setting up transport from Homer to Victoria would be a major pain.

I’ve got 2 young kids and it’s time to get a boat with a locking cabin door.

Yeah, super nice boat. Original engines through? Looks like the trailers original, so could be near end of life. I bought a 2007 and have replaced the trailer and electronics. My engine does not have a ton of resale but sure runs nice. I am not sure how they are determining the value of the 18 year old trailer, electronics and engines but I know they will cost 100k to replace. The hull, windlass, canvas, two helms, galley and head are likely worth 100k if they only have 700 hours on them and have been well kept. The wallas stove is likely near end of life as well. Might be worth floating an offer but we can't fix this dam exchange rate.

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.
 
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.

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

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.
