Looking for one of the above in great structural condition. Outboards only please (one ready for a repower is fine). Podded or factory outboard. Preference to soft top.
I have a Whaler 16sl with a 90 zuk which is great and economic as a fishing/ prawning boat but doesn't offer much cover for the kids. We mostly get out in the spring and it's been a little chilly with our extended winter weather. I'm hoping more cover = more than the 6 days we managed on the pond this spring.
Looked at a handful of boats over the last year but they have all had some sort of stringer/ transom issue. The recently listed podded 18.2 was very tempting, even with the wet stringer but I couldn't do it. I'm not after a project, but it don't have to be fancy. Just a solid Hourston/ DE for a reliable family island hopper/ prawn boat.
If anyone knows of one of the above hulls that'll be coming available, please pm me.
