Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

‘’Floor replaced but stringers solid, moisture tested and deemed good condition’’ HA I’d bet my farm that I could find rot in that thing from stern to bow eye. Or at least some de lamination, which is a sign of moisture and the beginning of the end. I can see paying top dollar for a properly completely rebuilt tub considering the cost of supplies/labour, but man I get a kick outta these prices with original wood guts...

That’s a sweet little rig but holy smokes that’s pricey! If it has actually been ‘completely’ rebuilt I could see some good value in it, but by the looks it was just the floor from stern to just in front of seats. New plywood over ancient stringers tied into an ancient transom? I could gut that boat and put back together with new stern design in a week for a couple grand in materials. Project 16 DE, Lease return 70 4stroke, used kicker and a trailer. Maybe into it for $8k completely rigged for fishin...

Looks pretty sick to me, it's priced in Canadian pesos and yes you better make sure the trailer has electric over hydraulics (and better flush that thing in elk lake after every dip in the salt chuck) but not too many boats with the double bunk for fishing with the family. Sure it's over priced like ever boat we have sunk our savings into and it has the dreaded inboard, but try searching for 25 foot plus aluminum boats and see what is out there at that price range.

10 year hull warranty maybe 20 .125 hull 98gallon tank, good range...love the 80's hair! They have a good shot with it set up with 4 down riggers

.125 hull on a 25 foot boat.. you hit a log at speed and you have a good chance of tearing a hole.

Could be decent if it was taken care of, but I'd rather spend 20 more and have a solid plate boat.

That Gauge of bottom leaves it in the tin boat category, not welded Aluminum imo. That with a ten foot beam and no dead rise listed leaves me to believe low to mid teens at best. Slapped out I/O. Great lake boat and certainly roomy, but without their infamous SST design I’d pass lol. For that price range a guy can get into a Wellcraft/Striper right now in the 23-25’ length with good power an no chiropractor bill...
