Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

The Arima's are a great fishing platform with tons of room but the downside is that they typically are slower than a more planing type hull (I.e. Grady, whalers).
 
I fell in love with the Arima hull when I saw a pod of them at port alberni.

I do worry about buying something I've never ridden in however.. I'm just very attracted to the lower power and better fuel efficiency.

We just ran to pender harbour in the Grady and spent $1000 on fuel (round trip with fishing).

Lots of work done since I brought her home a month ago.. new exhaust manifolds and risers, new 9" Lowrance touch screen, new 1106B riggers, new batteries, bottom paint sanded to Gell coat and reapplied, complete new trailer brake system and a lot of new fishing gear :). Still need to replace the old Yamaha kicker with new on fixed bracket. Loving the project tho - big shout out to stizzla and Snyder and other that have posted their builds and boat purchase stories that keep the rest of us entertained and motivated to follow through with our dreams
