-Full hull bow flare for dry
ride
-Gunnel caps - composite

Accommodation
The swim platform provides access to the cockpit through a hinged transom door. The cockpit features an open area astern of the helm station and the seat aft of the helm station can be folded down to provide more open deck space.
The helm console is centered in the vessel and is protected from the weather by a T-Top, enclosed with canvas and drop-down clear panels. The helm station can be fully enclosed with these drop-down panels. The full helm enclosure replaced the original polycarbonate windscreen. The original windscreen is also included with the boat.
The inside of the center console contains a portapotty, access to batteries and wiring, and is a large enclosed dry space that would be useful for storing larger items.
The foredeck contains more upholstered seating -- a fold-down seat is mounted to the forward console and a wraparound seating area is positioned in the bow. Underneath the wraparound seating are two lockers. One serves as dry storage -- the other is plumbed to the raw-water system and serves as a fish hold.
Additionally, many features make this boat ideal for fishing: 7 rod holders in the gunwales, 4 rocket launchers on the T-Top, 2 down rigger pads, storage for four rods in the gunwales, full navigational electronics, and a 116 quart bait well on the transom.

Broker's Comments

I like a boat with a deck layout that allows me to be outside and experience my surroundings and the natural elements. This boat checks that box. The center console provides shelter from wind and sun while underway -- but still provides the true 360 degree visibility that only an open layout can provide.
A fold-down bench in the cockpit and another on the foredeck provide seating while underway and allow the deck to be opened up when its time for fishing.
You might not expect a boat of this size and layout to have a head compartment, but this one does! This is key to getting the whole family out on the water.
This boat has been reported to be well-cared for by her owner and she is quite clean inside and out. When not moored during fishing season she has been stored indoors and her physical condition reflects this. Her engines have also be reported to be routinely serviced, the trailer is newer (5 years old), and she is well equipped with electronics.
This boat has proven herself over many years of fishing the Strait of Juan de Fuca, primarily for salmon and halibut (she's reported to be a lucky boat). Though located in the Pacific Northwest she would find herself at home just about anywhere and she represents a ready-to-go fishing package that is available today and at a much lower cost than new.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
