I'm looking for a new rig in this size for the family.....
Whats the hours on the main?
Whats the fuel burn like?
Got more pics of the inside,sleeper and such.Is there a galley pak?

Thanks Chris

The motor his 520 hours on it, maintained by Bob at SG. The fuel burn is 40 litres an hour at cruise (25MPH), and she burns 50LPH at 30 mph, which is where I like it. Full bore is 40 MPH, but loaded down with gear, fuel, and a cabin full of big lumps, I get 38 MPH, plenty fast for our coast.. The sleeper is unfinished, I took what was left of the upholstry out in there so it wouldn't get moldy with fishing gear. The head is brand new and fully functional. The galley pack was crappy when I bought the boat, I removed it. It is strictly seats and cupboards (LOTS of storage, you wife would be hard pressed to over do it).

I guess a couple grand would make a nice plush sleeper out of it, I know a few wicket upholstry people.

Email me at info@lastchancefishingadventures, that way I'll have your address to send you some pics, or if you are in Port Renfrew for the next month, I'll take you for a ride. A cocktail cruiser it is not, it may not quite be a floating camper, but it sure is a mean fishing machine. Very safe and stable too, but if your wife has been looking at Sea Rays and Bayliners, she won't like this. But there is room on the deck for 4 lawnchairs, and the kids CAN NOT fall out (Sides are over 3 feet tall)

Actually, here are some pics:

I'm only gettin rid of her because I bought a bigger one (A Hourston 26). If I don't have it sold by December, it will not be up untill the end of next guide season, as I will not have time to rig up my newer (newer to me) boat.

It probably appears on a "Wanted, dead or alive" poster at the local fishies post office . It's really a charter guide special, not too many family ameninities.

I sure can't wait untill the replacement rig arrices, I can't wait to sink my power tools into it!
