I am listing this boat as restored. However, I know this is not a Strick caliber restore and I encourage you to ask questions. I bought the boat in October of 2011. The first splash after my work was June 2012. Since then, I have put 70 hours total on everything you see done on my resto post. The engine (and all controls) is NEW, not rebuilt, and has 70 hours on it. Garage stored in winter.

Resto work documented here :

New carpeted trailer bunks, with slicks, and all new hardware to mount the bunks. New LED lights and bow stop roller. No brakes installed on the trailer. I would and will tow it any distance.

I think my price is in line given the condition. She is truly turn key. I would like to see her go to another seacraft enthusiast and someone who can get some use out of her. My focus has shifted to offshore fishing, and here in Maryland this just isn't enough boat to go offshore. I do not NEED to sell this boat. However I've got 3 at the moment and this one is not getting used.

Performance :

I'm running a 13 3/4 x 15 Merc Black Diamond. ZERO bow rise getting on plane. Easy cruise 25 - 27 mph @ 4200 RPM. WOT 33 - 35 mph light and on flat water.

I have this boat setup for the choppy waters of the Chesapeake bay. We typically see a nasty 2 - 3 foot tight chop. This boat will stay on plane down to about 13 - 15 MPH and just skip right across it. If you want to play the prop game I know you can pull a few more MPH because the engine is fresh. If you want to fish Oceanside and big water, this is a deadly combo.

Thanks guys - i listed over on The Hull Truth this morning. I'd like to see her go to a CSC member, but i'm motivated to sell.

Had a couple of questions about the livewell :

I did not remove the in deck livewell. We used the boat alot for inshore flounder fishing using small live baits, minnows/peanut bunker. I have it setup to pump in and pump out. There's a strainer with a seacock plumbed with a Bait Sentry livewell pump. Likewise, there's a small RULE livewell pump with strainer to remove water. I turn them both on and its kind of like a recirculating livewell.


**Also - no title shenanigans. I have Maryland titles for the boat and the trailer in my name with no liens on either.**

I've gotten some calls and emails with similar questions that aren't obvious in the listing. To answer some of those questions :

Engine :
2005 Yamaha 115 2 Stroke (installed new June 2012)
25" Model TXRD
Have receipts from Yamaha dealer i purchased from

Trailer :
1999 Load Right Tandem 5,000lb capacity
New Carpeted Bunks with Slicks and new mounting brackets
New Springs, Hangers, Hardware
New Bearings/Hubs on all 4 wheels
New Sealed LED lights and wiring harness

The original ~14 gallon (square) in deck baitwell is still there. I have it plumbed to pump in and pump out. Turn both pumps on and does a good job of re-circulating. We've used it for very small live baits (minnows, peanut bunker) with great results.

Have you sold this boat? Any chance you would sell it w/o the motor; seems a bit under powered?
