My friend has a bigger Eaglecraft. They are very heavy duty boats.

What do you guys think this Arima is worth (in canada)? Motor has 900 hours.

Thanks BCRingo - I have a pending deal (no deposit laid tho) as they are just confirming some info. The price is $22k usd which probably gets me close to 30k Canadian by the time its all said and done. I feel like it might be a bit high but they also have 35 others behind me..
Very popular boats in our neck of the wood. Good luck with the deal. Send some pics when/if you get it.

Pretty nice with the hard top and full canvas. Lots of guys take them for Tuna down south so high demand is the norm. Looks like a good buy, if it is as clean as they describe.
It looks like a clean boat. I wouldn’t walk away from the deal just b/c there isn’t a glass. I’m pretty sure that you can find a local marine upholstery shop to make you a custom window or back curtain. Whenever I’ve bought a used boat, I’ve had to spend up to 20% of the purchase value to dial it my way. You don’t need to spend all that budget right away but rather have an expectation that it’ll need some work+$$ to become “your boat”. Come up with a list of upgrades and budget for each item when it’s “required”. Again, nice boat you’re looking at, here.

Agreed on the 20% unfortunately. I think the Arima has full canvas and clear plastic windows "Full Cockpit Storage Canvas from the Windshield to the Transom" HDS 5 is a little small and you'll want an anchor and kicker if you fish anywhere with current tides and wind
I recently sold my 2006 19' Arima searanger hardtop for $40k. it was a beautiful boat - I have a newer seasport 22 and still miss my arima! 90 hp is barely enough power. I had the 115hp and with full gas and gear, I wished I had a 150. You will always have a lineup of people wanting to buy your arima off you

I've found people either love or hate Arima's.Pro's-well built,low power requirement/good on gas. Cons-pound a lot in rough water,transom configuration makes kicker steering awkward,pricey. I didn't think it would work for me for many years,but I've come around to liking them more.
