I'll never know

Edit; Guess it looked good to somebody...

The guy texted me about 8pm while I was at work and told me it was sold.

Back to craigslist...

Great timing for a boat thread, spring is right around the corner and I am gearing up for my first boat vacation of the year. Lake Powell... woohoo

As far as proper boat selection I prefer the comfort of a windshield and suspension seats for long days on the water, oh and a top to get out of the sun...and 4 stroke outboards rule!

My rig.....

When are you headed to Powell, 'Fubar? I'm committed to getting out there sometime this year. I haven't fished for stripers at Powell in years....

I have a line on a Crestliner 18 Canadian. Looks immaculate in pics, but is in storage for another week and can't be easily seen.

Has a 50hp 2 stroke injected Johnson, and an 8hp tohatsu. Quite well set up with accessories.

Informed opinion and thoughts?

Edited for engine HP correction. Looking at a lot of boats and it gets confusing

I like an aluminum boat. Here's the Hewescraft I've fished for the last 6 years. Saltwater only. It's only a 16ft. but it's deep. Yamaha 70 and 8 hp 4 strokes. Just sips the fuel.

I have used these boats up here in Alaska more than any other boat I have ever owned. Great for fast shallow water.

With the lack of road access to the real Alaska these boats allow that.

How much, Bruce?

That was a 2002 model owned by an old guy who was in love with it. His son sold it to me out of his estate a year ago. It was just a little smaller than I like anymore at 18'. It had full enclosure canvas that had never been installed and was still in the packages in his garage, two Scotty electrics, 115 Evenrude injected system, 9.9 Evenrude 4-stroke electric start and power tilt with full helm controls and start key, Cannon remote steering, underwater TV, decent electronics, life vests, boarding pike, 2 good quality rubber mesh nets...etc. I replaced the old original tires on the trailer. I was into it a whopping $7.2 K.

It was uncomfortable for me, and a 20' walk around had spoiled me, so I Craigslisted it for $13,200.00. It sold in an hour, and I used the money to get the 22 1/2' Pro Line and had $4K left to use on the Pro Line if needed. This was about the only time in my lotsa years that I bought low and sold high. I came out good on the Pro Line too.

The Lund was a great boat, but It was just not for me anymore. The guy who bought it takes it over the hill to CA a lot and uses it on the Sacramento Delta. He's thrilled with it. He's also about 2/3 my size and fits in it much better. wink

There were a lot of happy owners who had those and Duckworths in various sizes in the covered slip shed where I moored my old 20' Trophy in Idaho. I was impressed with their general quality and design.

Sock,
I am headed to Powell early April and stripers are on the menu. This will be my first time at Powell and hope to do a bunch of sightseeing via boat, my 60 gal fuel tank should give me range.
Should cure my cabin fever...... wink

Nice! Let me know how you fare as I hope to make it out in May. Years ago we'd go out every summer, but the low water levels and changes on the Navajo Reservation made us look elsewhere.

Youngest daughter and I went out to a small local lake today. Only caught a few largemouths but had a great time!

It does suck when these guys show up in late summer....but in this case, we were mesmerized by how clear the water was and thought it was amazing to see this many of them with 20ft of visibility.

Man WarEagle, That Seabird is KILLER! My Dad had one when we were younger and I wished he would have kept it and given me a shot at restoring it. What a GREAT boat. If you ever consider selling it, please keep me in mind as I’d love to have one. Currently I’m restoring a 1978 21B Mako, which should be ready to splash hopefully before the end on the Summer. Great pics as well.


The day I part with this one may be sooner than later. It has been fun but we are looking at upsizing. I am signing paperwork to sell one of my properties tomorrow...that and the possibility of our company being awarded a new contract this summer is going to be the decision maker. If it happens, I'll try to remember to reach out to you Capt.

I can get a look at this boat this weekend. Is it seriously under powered with a 50 hp motor?

Look and see what the hull is rated for. My 18ft kodiak was rated for up to a 60hp tiller or 75hp console and I maxed it out with a 4 stroke 60hp tiller. Probably wouldn't see a huge difference if it had a 50hp 2 stroke instead.
