26' Pursuit w/ 2x 200 HP HPDI's

[Spearchucker]

I am contemplating selling my boat to get into a catamaran that is a little smaller. I am feeling it out right now, but here is what I have:

1988 26' Pursuit center console with a small forward cutty
2001 twin 200 HP Yamaha HPDI's (380 flawless hours)
2001 Tropic Trailer aluminum boat trailer with disk brakes and stainless package.

Key features:

T-top
Speargun rack
tank holders
outriggers
porta potti
freshwater wash down
saltwater wash down
202 gallon fuel capacity
trim tabs
and much, much more

Electronics included:
Garmin 182 GPS with cartographic capability (bluechart)
Garmin 320C bottom machine
XM Radio
AM/FM Stereo
ICOM VHF

This boat is truly a great boat. Absolutely rock solid. The motors look and run flawless, and have never given me one bit of trouble. I get just under 2 mpg with 16 tanks on board, full fuel, and 500 pounds of ice. Round trip to the middlegrounds usually averages about 120 gallons. I am asking 33K or best offer. I will deliver in Florida.

Judging on the interest in the boat will determine if I move forward with my other plan. Call or PM me. My cell number is 813-244-9716

SOLD!
























for 1.00:)

Sounds like a nice boat, but I would need to sell mine first which could take some time;) Maybe if you still have it in a month or two.

I was just out on a 27' World Cat over the weekend and that thing is the bomb. A buddy of mine had a 22' Sea Cat which ran like hell too.

What type/size cat are you thinking about?

[Spearchucker]

I am looking at a Sea Cat now. Put that Whaler for sale, someone will snap it up right away, those things sell quick.

[junior]

It's in pieces right now since I am having the floor redone, rewiring and other assorted endless boat crap:D But, if I could sell it quickly I would seriously consider your boat since it is the general size/type boat I've been wanting. Let me see what I can come up with. Did you place an ad on boattraderonline.com ?

[Spearchucker]

No, I am holding off on the Trader until I am more sure of what I am going to do. I do not want to sell the boat unless I know I have the other one tied up.

[junior]

Me too:cool: I'll see what I figure out and get back with you soon.

John

I want to take you for a 45 mph ride on my new boat in 3-4 footers before you make a decision. It's almost warm enough for me to get in the water.:D

[Spearchucker]

BD - Its the 120K that is a problem :)

Let me know when your Mangina can take these waters and we will go out and shoot some fish. :D

[Bottom Dweller]

John, I'm only renting this thing for twenty years and I'm sure you could too. I told my wife that we could build a nice house on our lot in Hudson(for less $$) or get a new boat for the lift. The new boat won, I already got a house. It's not about the total cost, I could be dead any day, you just never know. I just lost a good friend and fraterinity brother the other day (TOM RIVERS) and he was only 38 and had life by the balls, and plenty of $$.

My mangina is almost ready.:D I have to figure out where and how I'm gonna store tanks so your input would be appreciated after you see the boat.

Here is a pic of the boat. Kinda far away, but you get the idea.

Some other stuff I forgot to mention:

I am in the process of rewiring the boat, so there will be none of the ever typical wiring problems with a used boat. All tinned wire, first class.

I also have a Yamaha fuel management gauge, which is essential for middlegrounds trips.

Negotiable in the deal is a nearly full 55 gallon drum of Yamalube.

[inletsurf]

That's definately a great price for that boat. Rigged out, solid, and fast...engines look brand new!

[Divin' fool]

That is a classic hull and rock solid.... big enough to go almost anywhere and still small enough to trailer and afford.
IMHO that is a good buy.

Just wish I was not building a new house right now:rolleyes:

[Mobile Diver]

Spearchucker,

Pursuit makes a fine boat & your price is very fair. Don't blame you for wanting a cat, though, they will spoil you. Is that black piece made of starboard/plastic a speargun rack? If so where did you buy it & how much?

[f94gator]

Yes, that's a speargun rack.

[Mobile Diver]

Thanks, Gator. Now answer the rest of the question.

John,

That sure is a nice Spaergun rack, where did you get it?

Looks like mighty fine craftsmanship to me:D

[Spearchucker]

Bret Walley made it for me!!! Thanks Bret!

Now can we get back to selling my boat!! :)

John,

I will give you $15,000 cash money tommorow for it, where do you want to meet me?

I won't even charge you for trips if you sell it to me.

Thanks,

Bret

[Spearchucker]

Bump this back up

I have just finished a complete rewire of the boat. All tinned wire, heat shrunk connections, Contoura lighted rocker switches, it is the shizzat!! Buy her now, or I run her for another year!!!

[bgbill]

I guess you didn't like my previous offer, I would even let you keep the speargun rack :D

[Drop Zone]

ill give you 25,000 ?

[Spearchucker]

Here is a Pic of the dash, nearly complete. You cannot see the really cool Contoura switches I used on the right side. They are very cool.

[zds3488]

Damn John,
Your setup is cool as hell! I wish I had the $. Its kinda hard to come up with that kind of cash at 15.

[bigballerkw]

thats a sweet boat...strong, sturdy, and really fast
i had one exactly the same could do 57 with a full load

[Marcus]

Are those black covers on your dash made of plexiglass? What are those, instrument panel covers or something? Where'd you buy them and how much?

[Spearchucker]

Well the only time mine has hit 57 has been on the trailer, but it does do pretty good. The boat is sold, as drop zone in JAX is buying it Wednesday.

The instrument panels are black plexiglass. I bought a sheet of it and made them myself. The center area is clear plexiglass. I have a "heat tape" that I use to heat up the plexi so I can bend it, then I fine tune the bend with a heat gun. Plexi glass is about $80 for a 4 x 8 sheet. I have plenty extra if anyone wants any.

Stay tuned for the next boat, a 25' Sea Cat with twin 140 Suzy four strokes.

[zds3488]

That will be fast as hell!

[Marcus]

"The instrument panels are black plexiglass. I bought a sheet of it and made them myself. The center area is clear plexiglass. "

Dude, I was just yanking your chain after the "Now we can get back to selling my boat" comment. :)

Nice work on the instrument panels though.

[Spearchucker]

SOLD - To Drop Zone, I delivered it yesterday.

Stay tuned for the next boat, which I pick up tomorrow!

You said it brother. I'll take my diesel any day.

[junior]

Congrats John. I could not make it happen. My loss. Good luck with the new boat:cool:

It does if you have a real job!;)

[Spearchucker]

Yeah, Kenny, ain't that the damn truth. These guys with the 6 knot boats that don't have to be at work on Monday. :rolleyes:

[Big Pig]

Unlike Bucket Boy, I'm stuck in a real job. My boat does 30, which for most of the outboard crowd isn't nearly fast enough.
