This is a very heavy duty work boat suitable for many uses. Overall in very good condition but minor cosmetic flaws around ( scratches,paint nicks) Offered for sale at this moment due to opportunity available to me to purchase larger vessel. If other vessel sells first, this offering will be canceled.

Nice looking Boat. Price is sweet as well. Wish you a speedy sale.

Thank You Sir! It actually will not break my heart if I have to keep her and keep running her, but have a great opportunity and would like to move up if possible.

captpjt, Nice boat. I had to look several times at the price to believe it! I'm sure anyone familiar would naturally expect to see another "1" in front of the listed price! I hardly think you could buy an outboard powered, open skiff for 65K, let alone a 30' full cabin inboard. I'm surprised the listing has gone more than a few days?

I hope for your good fortune with the sale and the new boat, that events work out as you'd planned. But as you say, if you're forced by timing to stay with this boat, we know you won't be suffering!!

Agreed, I wonder the cost of transport to Seattle

[captpjt]

Thank you gentlemen for the well wishing. I expect it should sell expeditiously considering my very aggressive pricing and value, but one can never tell when a buyer will come knocking! If she goes while this other vessel is still available it would be good. If not, I wont be able to sell her.

Chaps, I would think it would probably cost between 5,000 and 7,500 to get this to Seattle. If you are serious and want to explore, I would contribute 1/3 of the cost (up to max $3000) to get it out there.

Chaps, if you're feeling adventurous? And moving up to a bigger boat? Buy her and run the Lakes over to Duluth, Minnesota and use the train to haul her the rest of the way? It would be quite a trip from the Other Coast, up, into the St. Lawrence and West through the Lakes, probably half the distance to Puget Sound on her own bottom?

Just saying that would be quite the delivery!

A 27' Pursuit was $3500 on it's own trailer from Long Island to Lake Stevens.

Kevin that is a grand idea! And a nice offer from the owner as well . . . alright, who needs a nice little LaConner work/play boat?

This one moves on a transport John . . . those rates are quite a bit higher

What the heck is that black pipe device in the cabin attached to the forward bulkhead?

Bump rail to keep you off the circut breakers/hand hold for us old guys.

Now that's FUNNY.

Hi Chaps,

The black powder coated pipe you see in the house serves several functions. Primarily it is a wire chase to run everything up to the antenna mast on the roof. secondarily, it prevents the switches on the 2 panels located behind the " loops" from accidentally being switched on/off by casual and unintentional contact by passengers. Thirdly it acts as an " oh $hit" handle!

[Chaps]

Can you post some performance specs?

[captpjt]

Roughly:
Boat cruises at 12 Knots consuming around 10/11 GPH. Will run 8/9 KTS consuming 6/7 GPH and tops out around 17 KTS consuming 15/16 GPH. Boat is HEAVILY built! Engine currently turns up to proper RPM with current wheel, but I believe there is some performance to be gained dialing it in with consultation of a good prop shop. There is room to upsize wheel in the aperture and still maintain proper diameter clearance percentage wise. Trim tabs would probably be a very cost effective improvement to increase performance and is on my short list if I end up keeping her.
