Not mine, but may interest someone here. Very clean looking package but price seems high for 2007 boat and engine. https://bellingham.craigslist.org/boa/d/blaine-26-marinaut-cape-cruiser/7170879652.html

Am I right that this is exactly the same as a C-dory 26 Venture?

Blair,
You are correct...C-Dory builds this same boat and calls it the Venture 26. If interested, there is an interesting back story about the 07' and 08' Cape Cruiser 23 and 26.

I agree it seems on the expensive side--appears to be in great shape with low engine hours. I am not sure if the "Marinaut" Cape Cruiser would really apply, since the Marinaut line is the 215/220 which was more associated with Less Lampson, than with the Tolands, who did the Cape Cruiser line....

Cape Cruiser made two models: the 23 Venture and the 26 Marinaut. Both were Toland designs. The molds for both of those went to C-Dory when Cape Cruiser was put out of business as the result of a lawsuit. The current C-Dory builder calls both models Venture.

I don't know if it was part of the lawsuit, or not, but the name "Marinaut" apparently did not go to C-Dory. The Marinuat name re-emerged in the 215/220 models built by the Marinaut company the arose some time after the demise of Cape Cruiser.

Nice boat. Well equipped and seems to be in great condition. Unfortunately the seller has priced it the way most doting owners do, too high. I'd say that's a $60k to $65k rig. Maybe a tad more since its the PNW.

When you add high dollar items like down riggers, kicker motors , a dinghy and upgraded electronics etc it doesn't necessarily add value to the boat when selling. It's a hard pill to swallow! Ive dealt with it so many times when selling my boats! Lol

Thank you for correcting this for me. I had seen some of the early 26's produced by the Tolands labeled "Ventures"--but they were called "Marinaut" 26 when produced.

It's beautiful for sure. 100k is a lot for an old boat, even a really nice old boat. I have no idea what he will get, but they are probably going to be holding onto it for long time as it will take the right buyer - one that sees the value in all the accessories and the wonderful condition the boat is in. The bottom paint makes it worth a lot less in my opinion - because that means it probably sat in the water at the marina and not on the trailer in the garage.

I don't agree with bottom paint always meaning that the boat was in the water. I bottom paint all of my boats because in Florida growth will occur in a week, yet the only time the boat is in the water on trips--which may be up to a month in length. I am more concerned with corrosion in an outboard than with actually the hull being in the water. As long as the engine is flushed regularly with fresh water and kept out of the salt in the interim, there is rarely an issue.

A Birch Bay boat, probably Pat Anderson would recognize this boat and know how much time it was in the water.

I don't agree with it either 100% of the time about the bottom paint, but you don't put it on there for nothing...lol....And it's not only the hull that I am concerned about, it's everything. The moisture, sun, salt, and it all takes its toll eventually sitting in a slip in comparison with sitting in a covered climate controlled building. With that particiular boat, I wouldn't be too concerned as that owner is obviously very meticulous. Nor would I be worried about buying a boat from Bob, as he knows what he is doing and has a couple years of experience in this stuff.

I took a look at this boat today. It's on a trailer right now, not in the water. It really is in amazing condition. The motors are original, but with only 280 hours. It was owned by an engineer who passed, and it looks like it was owned by an engineer; every wire labeled, a place for everything and everything in its place. The boat was kept typically kept in the water during the summer season and then on land for the rest of the year.

I cannot think of a thing that I would have to change, clean, fix, modify or add to this boat or trailer. It's all there and ready to go. I understand that $89K for a 2007 is steep and I probably won't pay that, but if someone did, I don't think that they would feel like they got a bad deal.

I totally agree with Bob. I put off bottom painting my boat for years -- well documented here on the site-- and finally did early this Spring, with plans for being on the water for much of the summer and fall, BUT, as happens, plans change, COVID came along, BC boarder is closed, and self isolating has become the new normal - for some of us. There will not be a trip to Tennessee this fall, or maybe even Hontoon in the spring, so, My bottom paint has been hing and dry on the boat, on the trailer, in inside, secure storage for W A Y to long. That paint is on there for use, not storage on the water. And expected life time of the paint at my normal use level is about 4 years. This may stretch it to 5.
