Looking for 22-23’ for west coast fishing

[Pineapple Express]

https://www.facebook.com/share/12Hx8oFVW2G/?mibextid=wwXIfr, this is it, it’s a one owner boat he bought new

I think he'd have better luck if he cleaned the boat up and took the saran wrap off the camera lens!

He’s 80 years old lol, not very tech savvy, and I am not getting involve in this sale, me and him are not on the same boat when it comes to what it’s worth, problem is like most selling boats, he thinks that he will get back what he spent in maintenance and repairs and all that

Getting off the OP's topic a bit.The boats I think would suit him is my favourite 22 or 24 Seasport.23 or 25 Wellcraft Coastal,682 Campion,232 Grady,2470 or 255 Pursuit,maybe a 22 Arima or Seawest 22 or 24 if you can find one.These are all fiberglass w/outboard power only suggested.Most will be over the $60K budget.I can't think of an aluminum that will work with that budget and an overnighter.OOPS,forgot the golden oldies,23 Hourston or 20 something DE's.

Do the 22 Arima or Seawest 22 have 6 feet of headroom or are they shorter inside? I feel like older Arima's are not standup, but I may be wrong.

Ya I’ve seen a few of the bigger ones, but 24 models I don’t think I’ve ever seen one, and no I am not as old as you lol, plus I am a transplant from Quebec almost 40 years ago

22’ Sea West has at least 6’6” but your not weekending a family on it very comfortably. I have a 24’ Sea Sport Explorer so it has a stand up head and a galley, smallest I would want for weekending on butt well outside of the OP’s budget unfortunately

Yes, 22-6” not excluding the pod,27ft oal

I still don’t think that’s quite right. When I moored at Lions Bay they measured me on the rack at 28’2” total with the motor down. That’s from the tip of the pulpit to the back of the leg. Pulpit ~2’, bracket ~3’ and leg ~1’ deep = 6’ 28’ - 6’ = 22’ excluding the bracket. Best guess is 682 refers to a 6.82 m (22’4.5”) actual length of the hull from bow rub-rail to stern rub-rail.

You are correct, I actually measured it tip of the bow to back of stern is 22-6”, our boats where side by side in my yard, he was arguing with me that it was 24, mine is 25 bow to stern and it shows when side by side, look at the pic I posted of mine behind his
