I like this one it has the coffin bunk. A lot newer and an upgraded engine but still tough to justify with a low cad.

boat type: powerboat
propulsion type: power
condition: good
length overall (LOA): 27
Purchased from original owners just a month ago. The boat and trailer is 100%. Stored indoors in the winter and kept in the harbor in the summer. Engine was replaced with new Volvo in 2015 and has 380 hours. Outdrive was overhauled 3 years ago. Comes with shrimp pot puller, Scotty downriggers, dingy and 15hp Suzuki kicker. Must see to appreciate. I have a survey that was completed last month.
 
Looking at a lot of these pictures I can't help but think that folks might sell their boat faster and for more money, or closer to asking if they did a few simple things.

The more a person is asking for the boat the more things that the seller might want to do

1) Have their boat professionally detailed ,

2) Take all of the extra crap the seller doesn't want to sell. or will include with the boat but knows it will just clutter things up, when people look at the boat.

3) Hire a professional photographer who knows how to shoot boats. (when we sold a few homes over the years our realtor had a great shooter who always came to the house and was ready to shoot during the Golden Hour)

4) Have a survey done and make it available - and fix any deficiencies.

5) Make sure that the ad has no grammar or spelling mistakes.

I am sure some of you would have things to add to this list.

Yup, with this season well underway if you aren't doing everything possible it is going to be another 10 months of ownership. Video is king too. I don’t think there is any other way to sell a boat then showing it on a beautiful day on the water.

Its a super clean boat for the money. It is a 25 year old hull/engine, but definitely shows pride of ownership and checks out as 'garage kept'. That motor is super clean, but it is still a quarter century old carb motor. Its a great deal unless you end up needing to re-power in a year or two.

You have to be so careful dealing with ethanol gas on these old carb motors - burn them fully out of gas after every use, plus manually drain the carb bowl, etc.

My FIL has an old Carb Mercury 4-stroke 75hp and literally every single season I have to tow him or escort him back to the dock due to a gummed up motor that has stalled out or will barely run. He's reasonably mechanically inclined, but just can't get his head around the maintenance/upkeep required for dealing with it. A can of Seafoam at the end of the season just doesn't cut it.

I really like that this is not a bowrider - so much safer. Located in PoCo - so I suspect lots of time up in Pitt Lake - way safer when the wind comes up in the afternoon or if you get stuck in some rough weather. The only problem is that it will only seat 4 (maybe 6 in a pinch with people sitting beside the engine), so lots of people will go for the bowrider just to load it up with friends/kids.

Exactly, a friend bought a boat with an old 100hp yami and it wasn't cheap.

If you aren't getting a 2 stroke on a nice hull for under 10k, I think there are better deals out there.

oh i’m not looking to buy. i just generally find the price of boats on here absolute insanity. who can afford a $300 k boat ? i guess the HELOC helps but even so hard to justify for something that most likely gets used four months tops out of the year. i just thought it refreshing to see a nice clean little package for $15 k on here

For sure, more affordable boats and that are kept under cover, a cream puff look of a nice double eagle is almost irresistible. Very few boats for sale under 20k and either the hull or engine is going to be suspect :( https://nanaimo.craigslist.org/boa/d/duncan-1987-hourston-glass-craft/7853687386.html
 
I'm currently looking for a boat on the lower Island. The couple I have looked at in the 17-21 ft range with outboards all seemed very overpriced for the age and condition (as stated above that most $sub 20k boats likey to have a engine or hull issue).

Had a 16' K&C before and everytime i was in it, wished it were bigger. Have an old aluninum 16' fisher "mostlt lake use" now and it will work for salmon in the crofton area. ALthough boats like that 166 double eagle are tempting, I think I'd regret another 16'
