Re: Aluminum Type and Flotation Question

Any updates on this? How did you like your stanley? do you still have it?

One caught my eye on Lake Champlain last summer....not sure if it was an islander or a mink, but has me considering them.

Re: Who makes this boat?

Looks to me like a Stanley Mink. https://stanleyboats.ca/boat/mink/   do you know anything about Stanleys?  I am in the market and blown away by the brand new prices of Pacifics (or One3's)....but also blown away by how crappy the wood interiors on cheaper aluminum boats seem to be (polarkraft/lund...

I agree, thanks.  Just went to a marina in grand Isle and saw a boat with similar lines and a similarly shaped badge and it was a Stanley

Who makes this boat?

Chris if anyone knows who makes this.  Spotted in South hero Vermont at White's Beach.  Just caught my eye because it looks like it's welded aluminum... Sort of looks like it has the lines and maybe build quality of a Pacific... But it's in a smaller layout and the dual console layout it seems.  I f...

Re: WTB, 20 or 23 pacific in Northeast

Contact One3 boats, https://www.one3powerboats.com he makes a nice boat and I would guess you could have one built for the same price as a used Pacific, where you are looking for 6 months out delivery shouldn't be a problem. gorgeous boats! only like an hour from me too...actually would work better...

Re: 2007 Blacklab Marine/Pacific V23ST Selling Price?

not that its necessarily a deal-breaker but I am curious is there any way/process by which an older boat like this with a hull that looks "broken in" or used....can be revitalized so it looks pretty/polished/smooth like a when it was new?

That's within driving distance of me, so take whatever price people here suggest and subtract 10k from it :-)

Do me a favor and hang on to this for one more year. I'm in Connecticut and this is basically the exact boat I have dropped about for the last decade...but just last year I converted my boat fund into a mini excavator...but by next year it'll be converted back into a boat fund...

Re: WTB Pacific 2175

Was there ever a 2175? I thought there was a 19/20 23 and 26. 23 seems like the sweet spot...has different deadrise than the smaller boats too if I'm not mistaken?

Not sure if this is still available but I was curious if there is any treatment/process you can do to the aluminum to clean up those battlescars? I dont think there is anything you can do about dents (if there are any) but is there a way to get the general finish/appearance to look "like new&qu...

trailering a pacific 23?

Can anyone share their thoughts/experiences on trailering a pacific 23? I seem to recall from when I researched aluminum boats a while back that per loa, a welded aluminum boat was considerably lighter than a glass boat. I have a F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost as a tow rig, and I live in CT so I could b...
