I have a 17' Mako 171 with a Yamaha 115 2 stroke, aluminum trailer, all in great shape...any interest in cash + trade send me an email to zookeeper6778@yahoo.com
He's ok, I am looking for offers. The trade does not have to be a skiff. It just needs to be more of an inshore fishing boat. I just really like skiffs (especially OD green ones). Still looking...
Brooks,
any interest in a 2007 Panga 22LX? Boat is listed here for $22,500. I can email additional pictures if desired. I considered buying the Bluewater you have a couple years back. I am looking to trade up to a BW2550 or the Contender 25S.
Here we go...I generally get 2.1 mpg at cruise (about 40 mph). My last engines were 4 stroke 225s and I can honestly say I like these much better...better hull shot and response, lighter, and just as efficient.
Spear Rod 1 - all I can really say is that I have owned all 3. A 26 foot Regulator, a 31 foot contender, and a 25 foot bluewater. I will buy another bluewater someday. I love this boat, but my current obligations just don't leave me any time to use it. It handles as well or better than any boat I have ever owned at less cost. I want you to be happy with whatever you buy, but my experience will lead me back to bluewater.
hmmm, very nice... very tempting. is this boat in florida or the Carolina's. I live in the lower keys, so I'm pretty much far from anywhere... By the way. How does she do in faily large seas?

Spear Rod 1 - I am in Wilmington NC. I am actually going to the keys in October for 9 days to hang out and relax with my wife. It sure is a nice place. The boat handles wonderfully in everything. I honestly do not think there is a better 25 footer out there. Like I said, I want you to be happy with whatever you end up with, but I will go Bluewater again someday. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for the interest.
still looking for a good trade. Lots of nice offers, but what I am really looking for is a nice Jones Bros, Riddick, Carolina skiff, 21 foot center console, etc. Looking to make a trade and put a few bucks in my pocket. Just don't need what I have...
