Nobody’s seen one of these imports up close?
Speaking of imports, I’m hoping to check out the Tsunami Pangas at some point this week. Different type of boat but maybe still applicable for my want list.

True story. Pros and cons with every design.
I’m still kind of surprised nobody has anything to say about the aluminum imports.

I've looked at them from the west coast to boat shows. Some good ones, some ****. Resale issues, where if you list a Silver Streak or Kingfisher at a reasonable price you can sell within days.
I've heard good things about Gospel? but no first hand knowledge.
If you can rig yourself and get a deal on power and parts you save a lot of money buying chinese but if you are paying labour and full price for everything, the math doesn't work for me, especially when you add in resale and risk.

Quick price drop to 25k for this 2859. Some pretty sweet options like radar, dingy, solar and heat. You have to budget lots for maintenance and haul outs but nice family gulf island boat.

Some surveyors have gone over them for clients, why not do some digging and call one up to see if they have done this and will share an opinion.

I guess I've yet to see a used Silver Streak CC or Kingfisher (no CC option) that's even close to what the imports are going for brand new. That rigged and ready w/ trailer import option at $55k is pretty attractive if everything checks out. Might have to make some calls and see if there's any warranty or aftermarket support.

That's definitely a step I'll be taking.
I will say a visit to Tsunami Pangas was quite informative. The Corvina 180 was pretty nice but definitely small compared to a 17' or 18' Whaler. The Corvina 225 seemed like a primo option for my criteria. A bit larger footprint than I have been looking for length-wise but there are plenty of advantages of the Panga design. For instance, from a speed or efficiency standpoint there's no way I could get away with running a 90 or 115hp on a 22' Whaler but a 115hp on the 225 would be plenty.

that one is newer, heavier, and more expensive than I’d like. If I was going to spend that much I’d get a brand new panga spec’d out exactly how I wanted.
The first gen outrage 17 and classic 80s outrage 18 are the hulls I’m most interested in as long as I don’t need to repower myself. Newer versions are all much more bloated so it’d take a much better deal (like the Dauntless I was two days late for) for me to consider.
Edit: https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bod/d/everett-1998-grady-white-sportsman-180/7910164157.html another nice potential non-Whaler option taken out of consideration by the motor.

2006 C Dory Tomcat For Sale $89,000 - boats - by owner - marine sale - craigslist
I am selling my 2006 c dory tomcat. The recently serviced 2018 Honda 150s have very low hours. 140 hours or so. The 2023 aluminum trailer has electric/hydraulic brakes and freshwater use only. The...
Clean looking C-Dory 25 Tomcat. Would be so awesome for cruising around with a little family and still good for fishing. If there's any wriggle room on price, might be able to get it home for around $120k after converting to CDN pesos and paying the 12% to the border commissars. Power should be good and trailer looks awesome. Might be time to replace fuel tanks - and there's two - so that can't be cheap. Too bad it's bit too far for me to drive down for a looksee.

Nice Whaler! Hey @adamcu280 I think this is a way better value than a bare-bones Alibaba aluminum boat. Resale value should be much stronger with a Whaler.

Better ride and a guarantee it ain't going to sink.

I'd rather have this nearly new Rossiter for that amount of money. I talked to this dealer last summer about removing the T Top as I don't want one and don't want to have to pay for one.

This is the first generation Outrage 17 hull that I'm interested in. Sadly the motor is a non-starter and I'd much rather have a non-painted trailer.

Is a large engine well on your criteria list? They are prudent when using the boat in some conditions.I'd rather have this nearly new Rossiter for that amount of money. I talked to this dealer last summer about removing the T Top as I don't want one and don't want to have to pay for one.

A large engine well (if I'm understanding your terminology) is not necessarily on my criteria list. Obviously it'd be nice to not worry about swamping in following seas or when quickly coming off a plane. I'm looking for a boat that'll be used 99% of the time for fishing and cruising around w/ the gal and the doggo in inside waters in fair weather.
