Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

A friend had the same boat with a yamaha 150, 9.9 kicker on a trailer. His was an 08 or 09. He sold it a couple years ago for around the same price. I don't know what he had for electronics.
 
Are they 17 plus pod? I feel like they are 19 loa and priced like it. I can’t tell from the website, I know SS put a lot of work into that website but I can’t navigate it and google is useless on LOA, don’t know if Andy or anyone from the company is on here.
17’ hull with extension pod, probably 19’6” OAL. My Gambier is built that way; 18’6” hull with 30” extension pod.

I’m not sure if you find that a benefit or drawback, but I appreciate that the figure given for hull length is the actual useable hull, not hull plus pod.

My fishing buddy has an Eaglecraft built in the late 80s. Absolute tank, well built boat way beyond most tin boat builders.
Too bad the motors are no longer being made, tough to find a mechanic to work on them? Best to steer clear of etecs?

100 hours on a 8.5 year old main isn't much, sat for 2 years. Doesn't sound promising.

Is anyone on the S Island servicing them? SIMC in Sidney?

You are right, in theory 75hp is no big deal for a 17ft whaler. That being said, with only a captain on board sitting in the back at the tiller handle, 75hp flat out sounds terrifying. When you are going fast in a tiller boat with minimal weight onboard, it almost feels like you are a rock skipping over water, and something could 'bite' at any second and send everything tumbling end over end.
Try a 150 jet tiller. Moderate pucker factor
 

2005 Northwest Aluminum 26.5 charter boat 200k

That boat runs out of Port Renfrew in the summer. His slip is right behind mine. He bought it off another local guide that ran it for a few years before him. He moved up from a 20' Trophy. I wonder if he is moving up again or getting out? Anyways ........he seemed to take care of it from what I saw.......
