Interesting new boat on Craigslist

#1

Post by Chtucker »

Howard Fabrication built (Not ME :mrgreen: I guess there is a guy named Travis Howard in Bellingham)

This is a true northwest boat, a fantastic sport fishing boat, and a great family cruiser! One owner, meticulously maintained, fully loaded, and turn-key ready.

Powered by a Honda BF225 (only 490 hours). Runs like new. Twin 55 gallon fuel tanks provide a 250 mile cruising range at 5000 rpm, which pushes the boat along at about 28 mph. Both battery banks were replaced this summer (240 amp/hour house batteries and a separate starting battery).

Built in 2003 to commercial specifications by Howard Fabrication for comfort, safety, and ease of maintenance. It features Furuno 4kw radar/chartplotter, a fully enclosed cabin, mini galley w/ Wallace diesel stove/heater, stainless sink, 25 gallon fresh water tank, convertible dinette, full V-berth, Thetford porta potty, tons of storage space, a huge cockpit, grab bars everywhere, wide gunnels, bow rails, a level cockpit sole all the way through the cabin w/ 6.5 ft. of headroom, large full-width swim step w/ boarding ladder, and a powered davit for pulling your shrimp pots.

No expense was spared on this fully welded boat. It was built to last and outfitted with top-of-the-line equipment: Diamond Sea Glaze door and windows, Teleflex hydraulic steering, Perko four-way battery switch, Bennett hydraulic trim tabs, two Rule 3700 gph bilge pumps and another 1500 gph pump forward, Racor fuel filter, Stainless steel barbecue w/ an aluminum propane tank, depth sounder, navigation lights, anchor light, flood lights fore and aft, fenders, anchor roller, self-bailing rode locker, two anchors and rodes, AFI electric horn, window fan, windshield wipers, V-berth hatch, interior lighting, multiple 12V accessory power sockets, West Marine Roll Away 280, 9'3" inflatable yacht tender (manufactured by Avon), etc.

Tows like a dream on a King KBT6700 galvanized bunk trailer with dual axles, four disc brakes, electric winch, load guides, and a spare tire mount.
