My buddy just stole a boat!!!!

[7mm08]

Picked up a 2001 Key West stealth flats skiff with a 115 Yammie!!! He going to flip it if anyone you know is interested. I had one like it for years.

He's an old retired electrical engineer that does electrical work on boats.

I bought an 18ft Vexus bass boat a couple years ago that I'd love to sell & get something exactly like that

If I owned that I would live on the gulf, get lost at sea a die out there somewhere…
Dang it!

 

[TIGGREM2]

Good looking boat !

I fished off one of those on a guided trip in St Josephs Bay. Very servicable and stealthy enough to sneak up on reds in the potholes even in crystal clear water.

Yeah. Not the easiest to actually pole but you can do a line dance on the gunnels and not tip it over. He's 77 and has decided to retire his " retirement " job and just work on friend's boats and will flip this one. The 115 has less than 200 hours.

Wonder what something like this will sell for on the open market, once ready to go?

that's what you need for bayou caddy

nah, my little microskiff will get me skinnier and even stealthier! Not nearly as stable though, but I'm still young enough and balance is still plenty good to fish in out of my tippy Skull Island!

Is the 115 an '01???? and only 200h?

No… newer engine. 4-5 years old. I'll check.

It's a 2018

It's like everything else. If you know what you are buying and can do a little work you can make a bunch of money.

20k +

He paid 12

Some of these new skiffs are going for $80k !!!!!

If the hull is in good condition, he should easily get 22,500 for it considering it has a 6yo Yamaha with only 200h. Could prob ask 25,000 if he is willing to sit on it till May.

Deals aren't everywhere, but can be had.

I still can't believe I got my Skull Island for $5000... boat, motor, trailer. Took a lot of my hours to get it looking and functioning as almost new, but I have zero doubts it would bring $13,500 to $15,000

 

[Shanman]

Why can't we all find deals like that! Truly hope he makes a good profit as I would have to hold on to that one.
