I've been looking at seasport and orca for the last two years thinking and dreaming. I'm finally in a position to get one for what I think is reasonable pricing. Don't get me wrong both command a significant premium over your generic fishing boat. That being said it really comes down to condition both body and mechanical. I've seen them go with new volvo gas power for 65k with brand new trailer in fairly good shape overall for a 2004. I seen the 1994 24xl with a two generation old rebuilt volvo diesel go for the same price 60-65. Orca's a bit more low high 70's to 90's even north of 100 in some cases. Realistically they are a premium capable boat. I want one but at a fair price that is more in line with pricing for boats of the vintage year 00-05. More recent year models will command higher as the factory in Washington is charging more for them now, and our awesome PM has put a tarrif on any boat coming out of the USA not to mention the horrible exchange rate. The one at Sherwood I would have paid 65k at that time with trailer for in fact I was about 3 days too late to get that one Deals will pop up here and there and being able to move fast on them is key when they are priced appropriately. There is a 27 orca right now on usedvic I've seen it on and off for the last year or maybe even two years. 81,500 with a diesel a nice diesel too. If it cleared well on a survey it would be a great boat. Although it's 30 foot overall, put it on a trailer it's now 8000lbs and 35 foot. That's alot of boat for my family. I'm leaning more towards a 24 myself. It's large enough for my family, and small enough for me to handle alone at the docks with a strong cross wind. There isn't much room to stop either a 27 or a 24 so if you're gonna bump the dock ur just gonna bump the dock. Better the dock than another boat. If anyone knows of a great deal on seasport or orca let me know. I'm of the opinion some deals will pop up in the near future.
