I received reent survey report with a lot more pics. Just not the level of care and maintenance I would want at that price particularly in light of 18 yr old motors.

Thank you all. Based on price and overall condition of this boat, I am going to pass. Still looking for a nice 24' era Tomcat on left coast. Here is ad in case anyone else interested. https://juneau.craigslist.org/boa/6070012784.html

Thanks. Less than 100 hrs per year means not likely run very much day to day. I'm looking at tomcat w twin 90s.

1500 hrs on well maintained 1999 Honda 90s. Trouble ahead? Life expectancy before major expenses?

My 2 cents as a 22 owner of 7 yrs in AK. My buddy here bought a 99 Tomcat 24 last year. I have fished with him many times now. Big mistake. The upgrade from a 22 to the Tomcat is HUGE. Aside from the enormous jump in creature comfort and roomyness, the handling and seaworthiness of the...

Not going to find any cheaper. Why I do it myself. It sucks but so does $2k+.

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.

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

High premium here in AK as well. Frankly I haven't noticed that much variation except for occasional outliers (talking to you used early 2000's $60k CD-22). Age matters to a point though I find that once older than 2000 doesn't fluctuate that much. Usually in 25k-30k range. Engine hours for me...

Thanks for great pics. Very strange, my 88 has neither type of forward bilge arrangement. Best I can tell previous owner rigged up an RV water pump in galley and ran a hose with pick up to outside corner of cockpit just other side of cabin wall. Trouble is those pumps have to have water in them...

Most early solutions utilizing a pump to remove the water used an additional bilge pump centered just inside the doorway, and later ones moved the pump over into the galley cabinet to get the pump and it's catch basin out of the way of foot traffic. How does this work if the bilge pump is...

I own an 88. Look for any gel coat cracks along transom top corners. Could indicate water intrusion to transom core. Changes have mainly been cosmetic and utilitarian over years. The build quality in this era was excellent.

I recently installed this one and like it fine. Grey tones match my interior upholstery. I paid $100 back in March and is now double but might find it cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006K ... UTF8&psc=1

The Penn manuals are now being made by company called Troll-Master. Look identical to the Penn downriggers. https://www.troll-master.com

Both wrong. Nothing as good as Penn Fathom Masters.

Pretty simple. I am going to assume that you are using downriggers for your trolling. Once you arrive at your fishing ground throttle down to lowest forward speed. With my Honda 90 this will result in 1.0 to 2.4 kts depending on current speed and direction. Clip your line w flasher and leader...

Moxieabs I like that plan. No more holes if I can help it.

Yes exactly what I mean. On my older cruiser this would be a retrofit so just looking for best location before drilling. Nice pics, thanks.

What is the location of choice for discharge thru hull fitting for "sump" area pump on CD22s?
