Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

Me and you are on Never AGAIN IO train, every time I see one at the launch I tell myself poor guy

For decades, the inboard outboard was the preferred choice of propulsion, the boats that had them cost more to buy and sold for more. But the modern four stroke outboard motor has really changed the game. Maybe trolling with the I/O leg is not good for them?

The owner of that Monaro has spent a fortune on that boat,pretty impressive condition for a 1999.At that price you might want to look for something newer for resale.It's very hard to recover that kind of investment in an older boat.

Yikes on that price. I didn’t notice it earlier. ($175,000)

I use to like them, 350 easy engine to work on, but then I realize that working on them more then boating and fishing sucked, watched all these guys with outboards go season after season without breaking down made me realize that there is something wrong with this picture

I had a 350 Magnum with an Alpha one, and a 454 with a Bravo two. Other than regular maintenance, I didn’t have any trouble, and I agree that working on a small block and a big block Chevy with lots of room around it Was really quite easy. I had to farm out the leg maintenance though.

I am looking for a new family friendly boat and have many of the same requirements that Raincity had - the most stringent is outboard only.

This Monaro 27 is not outboard but checks so many other boxes. I would need to add a big bench seat behind the two helm seats.

I’ve never stepped foot on a Monaro. Any input from members. Is this worth exploring?

Is a diesel inboard such an awful thing? Seems like this is a boat that has been pampered over the years.

Thoughts? Thank you

At that price you’re getting closer to used ocean sport price. Some glorious tubs in that range. I can’t see buying at 26 year old boat for more than 100k

Understand the desire for an outboard...but...if you are considering an inboard diesel, this is a great boat IMO

These are such beautiful boats! I wanted to buy @turbomack 's when he was selling and moving south. I've watched reviews and read plenty about these Mackinaws and it seems that the engine noise in the cabin can be quite loud, and they are prone to spray over the bow and on the windscreen.

I like these as well. They were on my short-list. Somehow my French-Army knife won the race.

I sold my commander with 1900 hours on the original 1992 Volvo's for $125. That did come with a spare $20k 100lb drive though. Because that's a necessary spare part apparently.
