Here is a great opportunity for someone to take over a great, unique and very versatile fishing boat. This boat is exceptionally clean and babied and everything is functional. I have owned it for more than 10 years and rebuilt and customized it for myself and for salmon and halibut fishing on Vancouver Island. This boat is very economical to run, easy to handle and trailer, stable and seaworthy and well tested. This boat has seen rough water and handled it very well, it keeps you out of the elements and it is roomy for a boat of this class. It is well powered and goes over 35 mph when lightly weighted. It can tow tubes and a skier easily. This boat catches fish and has won derbies. Here are the specs:
- Original hull is a 1979 Campion 17.5' runabout.
- Structually completely rebuilt in 2010 - new stringers, new floor, transom repaired. All with epoxy - built to last forever.
- Custom built fibreglass hardtop with rails and 3 rod holders and 1 net holder.
- Brand new windows, front clear plastic and side windows vinyl. Let lots of light in.
- Main Motor: Yamaha F100 4stroke, 2000, estimated 600 hours, maintained by Forsch Marine.
- Kicker: Yamaha 9.9 4stroke, 2012, prob. less than 300 hours, with prop guard, alternator, manual start and tiller, also maintained by Forsch Marine.
- Eazy Steering between Main and Kicker.
- 2 sleeper seats, upholstery in good condition, custom storage compartments under seats.
- Sounder/GPS combo Lowance HDS7, 1st Gen with Airmar B744 bronze transducer 600W.
- Marine stereo with 2 speakers.
- Stainless Steel fish box under floor, removable and large enough for all your catch except large halibut.
- Custom wood panelling with lots of storage.
- 2 marine batteries, auto bilge pump, spare prop, Scotty downrigger mounts, 2 flush mount rod holders off the stern.
- Galvanized Highliner trailer, good condition, rollers. Brand new tires (incl. spare) and brand new hubs (incl. bearings), plus a packed spare hub.
- fibreglass and gelcoat in very good condition, never saw bottom paint. You'd never believe this boat is from 1979. Has always been stored under cover and never been moored.
- Best at last: custom extended steering plus a swivel seat in the back so you can steer the boat from the back when trolling. You will be right were your rods are and never miss a bite!
Price: $10,000 obo
I am willing to remove the sounder/transducer and reduce the price accordingly if you don't need or like this. I could potentially also exchange the kicker to a Yamaha T8 2005 with low hours and work on the price for this.
If you are interested please PM. I'd rather deal with you offline.

. Thank you for that. Good luck with the sale 
.
This is great boat for someone I can attest been on it many times.... And very well maintained it occasionally gets fish LOLOL
I built it for myself and everyone who knows me know that I don't cut corners. Hope it finds a good home. Had a few nibbles so far but nothing too serious. But it's not a good time for selling right now and just before Xmas. I am not in a rush. Just wanted to let you know in case you have a friend who is looking or someone you know who discovered fishing and is looking for an entry level boat that is ready to go.
