Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

Oh mama, that thing is hacked up! That is (was??!) a Rage model which would've had a Mercury SportJet 175 in it. The Rage hull is quite flat. It will no doubt be fast with a 115 prop and an extended running surface. But what a hack-job of "restoration" with bare plywood in the bilge, messy wiring, cheap upholstery on the aft box, etc.

This is definitely not a Whaler 15 like all the lodges used to run

What do you think of the 17 @Pineapple Express ? Seems pretty reasonably priced if the foam is still good that old?

This old Whaler Montauk 17 looks pretty good. Some scuffs, but that's to be expected for a 40+ year old boat. The main engine is nice and light, but maybe a bit light on power. One of my cousins had a Montauk 17 with a Merc 90 2-stroke back in the day. That seemed to be good power.

Not sure why people add kickers to small center consoles like this since the kicker just adds a whole pile of weight right on the transom and offset to one side so the boat lists. The main engine will troll just fine and be whisper quiet.

Price seems a bit on the high side to me ($14,750USD) on a painted steel trailer, but I guess the seller is banking on the Whaler name and including electric downriggers and some budget off-the-shelf T-top with a radar dome on top (described but not pictured).


There was a nice Montauk 17 with a 2-stroke listed briefly in West Van last week at $14,500 but it disappeared nearly instantly.
