This boat is a fish killing machine. Whoever gets it will be very happy. Doug really takes care of his boat. Heck, he spent nearly 2 hours cleaning it after our tuna trip this summer:laugh:

[ogrejager]

Any idea what the boat and trailer weigh? Or, put differently, what do you tow it with?

[Billfisher]

The boat and trailer weigh about 7200 pounds. There is currently 840 lbs tongue weight, and I tow it with a 3/4 ton pickup. The trailer has new leaf springs (changed for the first time this year) and other suspension parts. I towed this boat with my 95 Chev half ton, but I upgraded my truck after buying the boat since I needed a new one anyway.

[ogrejager]

Thanks for the info. That ups the price for me as I'd need a new tow rig, too. Dangit.

[Billfisher]

Bump...

[Coastalfisherman]

Ttt

[Billfisher]

Bumpatola. The kicker is available with the boat for an additional $1K (which is actually less than I'd sell the motor alone.) It is a 2004 4 Stroke Yamaha Long Shaft 9.9 High Thrust Electric Start.)

[Salty Walty]

Had the oppurtunity of witnessing a drive by from a +100# Tuna on this boat. "Those aren't porpoises, they are huge Tuna!" This boat has Big Tuna Mojo.

[Billfisher]

Well, she's covered with snow right now, and the de-humidifier is again chugging away.

[Plumber John]

Whats the top speed? How much gas does she burn 25 miles and back / with a little fishing etc. Thanks John.

[Billfisher]

John,

Top speed is about 30 knots, depending on how loaded down we are. 25 knots is the top end when there is a cockpit full of ice and Tuna. That is also realistic with 600 pounds of gas, and another 300 of ice, and 3 guys.

As for gas, here are the numbers. Halibut fishing (which entails a hard run to the rockpile or ranch and back, and a lot of idling in-between) usually results in about 4.5 gallons per hour average all told. using the kicker to backtroll and turning the motor off at the rockpile makes Halibut fishing about a 32 gallon adventure.

Tuna fishing (a hard run WAY out and 7 knots almost all day) produces about 5-7 gallons per hour, depending on conditions. I usually burn about 65-75 gallons Tuna fishing, if the fish aren't close.

Salmon fishing is cheap. I used about 3.5 gallons per hour with the hard run out, and trolling on kicker power.

I hope this answers your question. :angel:

[Plumber John]

Thanks for the Info. John

[Zodiac-Fisherman]

To the top...

Bumpity bump..

[Billfisher]

I may pull her up to Portland for the boat show, but we'll see.

[Billfisher]

Well... I think it'll be off to Brinsfield's since I'm driving up to PDX anyway! Go see her there! :angel:

[Green Machine]

Another "whatever happened to this boat" question? Sure missed some good deals a year or two ago. Curious if this one is still for sale or not?

Green Machine

[Coastalfisherman]

It has been sold and Doug has the cash burning a hole in his pocket....:D
