I think this is a great boat. I thought they were asking around $140,000 but I could be mistaken.

Just confirmed they're asking $109,000 USD. Looks like a great buy for someone.

Great pod project. These were nice boats, full overnighting capabilities. Make an offer.

It is very unusual ,Uniflites had port steering back in the day.I would think the aluminum was custom built for someone that is left handed.

Historically boats have had the helm on the starboard side. Hence the name - starboard comes from "steer-board" which was used to steer the boat (look at a Venetian gondola). My guess for the port side set up is that someone wanted to drive their boat from the same side as their car.

Starboard side was more typical in the early days of planing vessels in an effort for the captain's weight to counteract the propeller torque of a standard rotation prop. I think it's just become commonplace now

Some have suggested it was to mimic driving a car, as the operator would be used to controlling it from that side.

Maybe because it's the better position to see boats approaching you to starboard that you must give way to?

I like it. But is it a good value? No trailer, no power, no electronics...and it looks like it's been worked hard.

I would say pretty good value if it was listed in February pre-covid on a per foot value and the level of build. I haven't heard anything bad about the welding or build of Wolf Boats. If you get a deal on the right power and an electric over hydraulic trailer you are good. Might cost 50k onto of the purchase price to get it in the water but you would have a boat that would cost 140k or more to build? I bet it sells pretty quick with the dual steering station and alaskan cabin.

But this might be a better bet if you are a good negotiator https://vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn/boa/d/west-vancouver-vboat-voyager-700/7086548223.html and I think this one was on sale for the last couple years on Gabriola, looks like someone finally put some elbow grease in to flip her: https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml/boa/d/port-coquitlam-central-27ft-aluminum/7106468776.html

I guess you were right @kaelc ...the 24ft Wolf ad was removed this morning so I assume it sold

I almost would of spent my CEBA loan on it if I wasn't into my LOC and burning money like I was building a boat. Who has 35-80k sitting around to put into a project boat....hopefully it is a good sign the economy will turn around.

yes, this thing is kind of a cool boat.

 

[Gear'n'beer!]

What's with the scaffolding attached to the transom?

Is it worth it?

I think a guy would have to look at it. Hard to say what shape the hull is in as far as soft stringers, transom etc. He has a survey, but it’s from 2011, so not that helpful. Assuming that the hull is good, then I think it’s decent. Having a duo prop would pull that out of the hole like nothing. Motor looks like it needs attention, hopefully nothing too serious. He says it sounds good, just can’t rev past 3200.
A full head would be pretty awesome too.

Ya the full head caught my interest, might be something temporary until the 26 is done... Is it just me or do most have at least 2 boats anyway?

Might just keep looking for a 1/2 decent 17-18'er to use as a day boat and leave it on the Island somewhere...

My boat has the helm on the Port side, I was told by the person who surveyed my boat last year that commercial boats had the Helm on the Port side, mine was ex RCMP.
