2012 Cruiser 22 in splendid condition - $75,000

[pslansing@mac.com]

I purchased a turn key, like new, Cruiser 22 last December. I've used her on lakes here in Idaho and one delightful trip to Vancouver Island in July. She's a great boat, but we wound up living in our van rather than on board so it's more boat than needed. In addition, I often fish alone and can't see my rod tips from the wheel. I need some more fishy.

I'm the second owner. The first lives in the San Juans and stored the boat indoors, not at a dock. So far as I can tell he barely used her at all: accessories still in plastic wrap, a price tag still on the anchor, the porta potty still in a box. Drawers and cubbies smelt new when I picked her up. I'll take the boat to a dealer to get engine hours checked but they still showed factory grease when I purchased her. I suspected 50 hours on them then. I've added another 50 so that's around 100. If I'm way wrong I'll adjust the price.

Twin Yamaha 50s (Start at a key touch. Purr.) Bimini with side panels. Bruce anchor (used once by me in fresh water). Wallis stove/heater. VHF. Lowrance plotter/finder. EZ loader twin-axel trailer with oil bath bearings, LEDs and no rust. She picked up two small gelcoat dings from the road bringing her home. I filled them with West epoxy. I added accessory rails, with 3/4 inch Starboard backing and expoxy-filled, double drilled bolt holes. She has twin tanks. I added twin Racor gas filters with glass viewing balls so one can check for water & cloudy gas; also added a trolling plate. Down-riggers and rod holders in pictures are not included in the sale.

I paid high price for the boat because I wanted value, not a project. I can email a survey to a serious prospective buyer. Boat is in McCall, Idaho; leaving for Boise and inside storage in a week or two. Pictures on request. I can't seem to get them to upload.

I managed to get three photos uploaded to my album. (Thanks Mike.)

The price has dropped like a castaway anchor to$71,000.

I had a Yamaha dealer scope the twin 50hp four-strokes on the boat. Turns out my hours estimate of around 100 was fairly accurate; 114 and 121 hours respectively. The boat is eleven years old so that's, um, eleven hours per year. And many of them put on by me in fresh water. The low hours and inside storage go a long way to explaining why she looks and feels so new. Hmm... maybe the hours are Mother Nature's way of telling me to keep her? Cheers, Phil
