That 20' Bridgeview is absolutely phenomenal and is worth lingering on.
This is a rare/desireable boat and well made. Self bailing, 1/4" bottom, reverse chine, this one looks to be extremely well optioned - great layout. Bridgeview only makes a few of these every couple of years. I believe this is an 18EXT (which is 20' overall), and in 2020 when I was shopping for a boat I priced out a single engine 150hp with 9.9 back and it was $95K + Tax + trailer. There was a gorgeous one in Burrard Civic for the longest time (not sure if its still there). Not sure what the dual engine would have cost, but I suspect this was closer to $125k with the trailer (if the owner put in their order, pre-Covid price bump - I think the pricing went nutty after that, if they even made any more)
The only thing I would question on this particular boat is the choice for twin engines. I love the idea of a twin, but hard to know if that actually works very well on an 18ft model (I typically saw this on the larger 22' model). These were normally fitted with anything from a singel 90hp on lodge boats, up to a 150hp. They are rated for 200hp, but I think a twin engine would make this really butt heavy.
Anyway, 85k seems totally fair (if the engines check out) and pretty much wipes out a lot of the COVID premium. I hope Bridgeview makes a few more of these - the only ones that seem to come up are the beat up old lodge/work boats from the early 2000s.
