Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

Those 200 mercs are not desirable (1.7l is less displacement than a 115 zuk). They may make this a tougher sell. Price may take that into consideration. The lines ain't great on that boat. I find this model is odly proportioned.
Just curious what are the downsides of those motors? Have seen them on a few boats and just wondering what are the issues. Thanks

2-stroke Yamaha 90 is the main power. More pics here:

Get it surveyed!! I was walking the lot last week and workers were discussing how to lift the boat off the trailer to do a hull repair at the transom area.
 
Looking for some advice on this boat, 1994 Bayliner Trophy 24'. Not sure of it's history but it's a fresh water boat currently. They're asking $25,500View attachment 119934View attachment 119935View attachment 119936View attachment 119937View attachment 119938View attachment 119939View attachment 119940
That was their 23 foot version with the inboard outboard. There’s a guide company on Granville Island who uses one for a guide boat. It’s actually quite a functional boat, space wise. How’s your appetite for doing maintenance with that stern drive? That looks like a newer engine.

I'm far from a fan of inboards and wouldn't be my first choice but this seems like a pretty decent boat for the money. In my price bracket and general area not easy to find one that fits all my wishes. What about the price? Low/high or about average?

Depends on how well it was maintained and motor hours as well as hull condition. In my unprofessional opinion that boat will get expensive fast if it hasn’t been well maintained. Can you turn your own wrenches?

How old is the listing? Can you see their marketplace history and tell if it has also been for sale recently? Price is also dependent on internal condition. You do not want a stringer/transom rebuild project. Make sure your surveyor has a well worn ball pean hammer. Alpha One leg? @noluck is bang on, the 350 is a better match for that hull size. Is it important that all the switches and accessories be functional? 31 year old wiring could be alright with the fresh water life. That cab-forward design gives a decent dance floor for fishing. I thought of podding one years ago but couldn't find a good candidate locally.
