Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

Did the 200's have the issue the 225's did? Even with the higher hours that seems like a decent deal
Yeah exact same. My buddy’s were done before he bought it and she flies. Scope to see if there is corrosion unless they have receipts from a reputable shop.

Trailer looks to be the same as mine electric over hydraulic brakes, which is rare south of the boarder.
Interesting
Thought of you. Chance of transom needing to be redone but nice it isn’t sitting in the ocean. Could be a nice one.
 
Breakup coming soon lots of boats to look at
Nice to see some on the market that fit my interests
Those 25’ sailfish are beasts, if that one is structurally sound,and those yami make it to 3000 hrs like they are capable ov it could be a good boat, but ….. plan a 60k repower down the road 🤮🤮and a budget to push it around ( gas)
 
I agree with you
One must consider the job the boat must do as well and do I want resale value and cost of trailering or storage on coast it’s all a factor as is an American boat
I’ve got a few choices to consider the devil is in details but after a thorough shopping trip this spring it will get a bunch clearerI
 
IMO buying a sailfish with twins for a once a year tuna trip is insane lol unless you have too much money, don’t get me wrong if you can afford it, it’s a great roomy heavy fishing boat,15 plus years ago when we could fish and retain fish offshore all season yes,but with all that’s going on now not so much. But again it’s just my opinion. And yes that boat has a 9’- 6” beam, so need a permit every time it’s getting towed legally
 
Sailfish are pretty versatile, having two beds. Adding a little more weather protection would be nice. If you have the big truck and want to be out in big water then they are a good choice. 2000 and newer are a little better but if the one in WA has never been a charter and well maintained it might be a good one.
Bashing the charter boys ????😜😜

I’m sure there are some who maintain them like their own but there is one charter for sale right now that looks like it has been beat hard. Listed for 100k+++. Any boat that has been repowered a couple of times has a lot of hours on it, and if money hasn’t gone into the hull then it shows. I saw a few older GW sitting at a lodge in 2022 that made me want to cry.
 
Smaller than today's 18'r. No beam to the old ones and that one has a non factory extension. 20 year old outboard.... Tough sell
I think it’s still a decent deal. The new 18’ hewescraft are stupid price but they were 30k a couple years ago.

But a blue silver streak sunk a few years ago and sold for cheap so I’d always be worried that it’s that boat haha
