For decades, the inboard outboard was the preferred choice of propulsion, the boats that had them cost more to buy and sold for more. But the modern four stroke outboard motor has really changed the game. Maybe trolling with the I/O leg is not good for them?Me and you are on Never AGAIN IO train, every time I see one at the launch I tell myself poor guy
Yikes on that price. I didn’t notice it earlier. ($175,000)
I use to like them, 350 easy engine to work on, but then I realize that working on them more then boating and fishing sucked, watched all these guys with outboards go season after season without breaking down made me realize that there is something wrong with this picture
At that price you’re getting closer to used ocean sport price. Some glorious tubs in that range. I can’t see buying at 26 year old boat for more than 100k
Understand the desire for an outboard...but...if you are considering an inboard diesel, this is a great boat IMO

I like these as well. They were on my short-list. Somehow my French-Army knife won the race.
I sold my commander with 1900 hours on the original 1992 Volvo's for $125. That did come with a spare $20k 100lb drive though. Because that's a necessary spare part apparently.
Yeah but we are talking 30 vs 27
A family member owns a Monaro - twin D4 230hp Volvo diesels. I think it is a 29' (has a fully enclosed hardshell helm/cabin and a larger rear deck).
It's essential to have a mechanic nearby for an inboard and for a moored boat, in my opinion.. I'd ask about the leg maintenance and transom assembly, if it's been replaced. Feel the broker out on the pricing, not many Americans looking for a Monaro I would guess. Still, some guys are looking, but the season is close to over, I would guess for brokers, as most people have their summer plans booked.

Believe me when I tell you I’m ruminating over it as I pack for a family road trip! Spoke with the seller - really nice. I might try and get up to Ladysmith tonight but there is already someone coming to look at it. Seems like a screaming deal…Bei Facebook anmelden

Lifetimer aluminum boat 27’
CA$159,000
Listed 2 hours ago in Qualicum Beach, BC
with trailer and low hours. Not listed with an unrealistic broker. @Sailfish25 I know it's not what you are looking for but this is good value in my opinion. Sell the trailer for close to 10k if you don't need it.
Nice. One of the only boats I would consider upgrading too, and at that price it wouldn’t cost me much. I doubt I’ll see one at that price again.
That boat should have twin 250's on it, not 150's. Quite under powered. Just cruising will be maxing the rpms on those motors.Bei Facebook anmelden

150s would be fine. That's not a big boat (lifetimers taper hard to the waterline). You'd be surprised what a set of 150s will do with a set of 4 blades. Not a speed demon, but perfectly adequate for most.
Ya it is a big boat and heavy for the 150's. Have fished out of the exact boat. Minimum 225s but 250s are perfect for it.
Mine has 150s and cruises fine. Better than fine actually. It has to be heavier than the lifetimer. 9'-9" beam and an 8.5m length if anyone can tell me what that means. Still haven't figured it out. Might have to ask my high school math teacher.
