Will likely need new motor before long @ cost of $12k bringing total cost of $28k. Not such a bargain.

If compressions checks out on main, that motor will run another 1500 hours.
I had 1500 on each of the twin 40 Hondas and compression check was excellent.
Sounds like a great deal to me!

Always a sore topic, outboard life, but with clean fuel, regular service (especially fluids and impellers) and good break-in, I think that 3000 hours is reasonable. If you run the motor only a few hours a year, that is different but with regular use and care, a good motor has to last more than 1500 hours or you should buy an inboard. Bob

That boat will be sold in days. Incredible deal.

I missed $500 but still a great price. I told the seller about our C-Brat site and suggested a post on our Forum. Quick reply back so this is a real listing. Bob

16 yr old motor that averaged only bout 100 hrs/yr. Bit of a risk but probably still worth a shot. Even at 28k with a brand new motor not a bad price if boat in good condition.

There is also a 2015 Tohatsu 8 hp kicker on a lift that with tax and installation is close to $2000 plus a 7' Avon and in the pictures a nice trap/pot puller. Wallas stove and the other stuff that adds up fast plus a trailer and a September 2016 survey available. There is one rub, no road to Juneau so it is barge or ferry it out and then either haul to the lower 48 or send it to Seattle. Or just buy the boat and bring it back next season. If you have been watching Joe's recent sale at $22,500 this is a fair deal especially if you get 3-5 years from the main. Bob

I was curious so I got a quote from Lynden transport (Alaska Marine Line) for cost to ship that boat from Juneau to Seattle, which was over $3900. I suspect it would be less to ship ` Bellingham maybe...thought I would see if anyone had any other ideas of companies that ship from Juneau or if there is some other cost effective method to bring a boat down from there other than personally driving up and trailering it back? Other than this issue it does seem like a good deal...

Try Lynden's competitor, also, although that number sounds about right. Shipping is not cheap. http://www.samsontug.com

Locals ship gillnet boats, etc., up to AK, in lieu of running up from Astoria. If someone reliable has free time, you might get them to trailer it down ... your vehicle, though. And then there is Canadian Customs in the loop, also.

I have moved several boats to and from Alaska using the bidding proccess on uship.com. It's great.

Most likely, the least expensive way to get the boat here is via the Alaska Marine Highway System. You can get it loaded by a contractor in Juneau, or wherever it is (Sitka?), and then at any location where it needs to be offloaded and reloaded onto a different boat there are usually contractors who will do that. If there is a community without any contractor available the ferry will move the boat for you for no cost, but they are not allowed to compete with a local business, so they only do this when no contractor exists.

I'd bet you could get it down there for around a thousand bucks. But I'd be willing to be the Alaskans don't let this one get away. There are a ton of people around here that want a CDory.

I don't think the power necessarily ready to replace at their age and time. Well cared for, these motors are about halfway used up. Screaming deal for someone here.

Talked to the seller today and he told me he has a buyer at the bank and backups to boot. His comment "Wish I had more of these to sell!".
