That DE is what they call a 18.6 (just over18'), raised hard top and larger bow rail. The 17.6 is rated for max.hp of 150hp. 200hp. that thing would fly.

Looks like the same D.E. boat that was tied up in Toba a few years ago. I walked by it a few times and noticed that this boat had originally had the outboard setup and now was converted to a pod. I did notice the back motor well and seats where never taken out after the pod set up. Not sure if this was a professional install. I couldn’t see the condition of the floor as there where gas jugs and gear everywhere.

That is correct, 18’ model. I wouldn’t want anything less than a 175 hanging 3’ off the back. 200 should be perfect. Underpowered and offshore don’t do well together...
Sounds about right. I spoke to this guy in the fall (boats been for sale for a while). He sent me a bunch of pics. It has been sitting, hull full of rain water for some time. Did have the original back seats and the pod which was a little odd. Believe the pod was done by a shop in Campbell. He is a logger and used it as a high speed commuter boat. The Merc has been run hammer down regularly.

If you ever seen one opened up you wouldn’t touch one, unless it was free and you felt like parting it at the rub rail just to gain access to the guts. 17 deg dead rise really isn’t anything to write home about either. Those vintage campions kept a lot of glass repair shops busy...

A similar year and new power sold recently locally on the island with new trailer for 65k. This seems to be a very clean boat and nice but i think im starting to see the range of pricing vary greatly in revent months. But man if i had that much to spare right now it would be something I would like.

Finally a reasonable deal! That’s a killing machine that’s cheap to run...
