Pacific 2075, or is it 23?

#1

Post by Bigger Fish »

Good afternoon alloy boats brethren. Yes, I was the lucky person to have recently purchased the “mystery” Pacific that was for sale here on this website, on Orcas Island in Washington. This was the boat that had the 2375 sticker on it, but everyone had (justifiable) doubts. It has since been measured, and it is 20’ + bracket. I had been looking for a used Pacific for years, and had just come home from a 3 year stint overseas, when this came up for sale right in my own backyard. I am very lucky, and grateful. Guy that sold it was awesome!  So now it’s getting a refit:  rocket launcher, radar arch, fixed vhf, raw water wash down, new canvas, new seats, folding footrest, boarding ladder, discovery bay pot puller, alumbrite from bow to stern, new trailer, and a few other odds and ends. Having the work done through Bitter End Boatworks in Bellingham. Excited is an understatement. I’ll post some photos as things progress. And a special thanks to grouchy ole’ Goatram, who coached me on a few alloy details.

Sorry that no one has replied to your post...
Congrats on the boat and good luck with the modifications.
I'm an east coast welded boat owner, so don't see all too many others around me.
Keep us posted on the boat updates.

I use the 1/2" plate gusset on the motor mount for my straps. It has a nice radius already there for your strap hook.

Welcome to the Forum!

The circled item is the fuel tank vent... The black plastic cover is missing I think that its made by Perko.

Please reach out if you have any questions, I've owned the same boat for years

Enjoy!

More progress. Footrest, smaller diameter rail on transom for folding bait table, cut back primary transom rail for easier access to swim step, pot puller installing through forward locker.

Bigger Fish, I have a V2025HT and I am on San Juan Island, mine looks very similar to yours though I don't have the railings. I have a transom door, rear seats over a large storage compartment, front bench seat on the campartment in front of cabin, welded in pot puller, rocket launchers and a fish cleaning station on the transom I repowered a couple of years ago w/ a Yamaha 150. Great boat for the islands. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sure wish this finely built skiff wasn't covered in corrosion cells!  (All those white flowering spots are mill scale corrosion sites!!) Etching would allow it to live much longer than it will in current mill scale-covered condition.

Always like to see pictures of the Pacific Skiffs' oval 'pipe' extrusion made into the various rails and parts on their skiffs.

Good Luck... from the AAB.com Forum's "mIllscale gnat-zee".
