sport fishing boat quality

You don't want my advice because I'll tell you straight up...Grady White,Pursuit,Proline,robalo, etc....I just think that you mostly get what you pay for and the re-sale value on these hulls is always very good.
I would look hard at even an older model that has been repowered...probably the way to go especially if your looking south...
Start with a budget and go from there...
just my two cents...
oh ya...PARKER another great hull...here a great boat at a decent price...just goes to show you that boat's aren't moving down south...

That Parker looks nice. Divide price by 4 and I'm in!
;)

Starting with budget is right, because you can't get blood from a stone. I'm looking for the first step out of the "welfare boat" world, to something more solid, dependable, and safe.

I'm looking around $12k, but could stretch to $15k. Beyond that, and I think we will have "issues" in the home. This crazy habit is tolerated, but only to a point!

My goal is the newest power I can afford, with the best hull I can get to go with it. From what I've seen, those budget dollars stretch about 30-40% farther down south right now. A $20k boat here might be $15-16k in Seattle. Even bigger gap on the East Coast, where boats are shockingly cheap...
 
Hi RS

I saw that one too, and agree, an ok deal but could get it 40% cheaper in USA. The Port Orchard one from Red Monster shows that...about the same price, but 6 years newer at 2001 vs 1995.

Some tasty looking boats from Red Monster. Out of my price range, but my will...power....is....slipping...

This forum is a dangerous breeding ground for 2-foot-itis. ;)

Check out comparable listings and comparable power and options and I think the price is not too bad. Someone could get this boat for around $34,000 Canadian. I am not related to the seller, just think that a new used Double Eagle 206ex loaded for 1/2 the price of a new one would be a good deal.

A 2005 boat in Richmond for $69,500 same exact same power, although very low hours, as the Bellingham boat: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1775716/0

SG Power, new for $51,999 + taxes with 150 honda and trailer, no kicker, no trim tabs or electronics: http://www.sgpower.com/marine/details.php?Item=12
 
I looked very hard last year trying to find a 206 Double Eagle in good condition,hard to find.For a nice Double Eagle with all the extras,around 35 canadian is good.Best quote new,last year with a 200 yamaha was 58 no extras.The wife saw the quote and it was a no go.I sure would like to try a 206 out though.It seems that this year there are a lot of good deals out there,who knows with the uncertantity down south where the prices are going to go.DAN
