The good boat deal thread

If it's as clean as it looks this appears to be a pretty good deal. Possibly slightly underpowered but maybe that's more economical. Most of the other Triumph 170ccs I've seen on the market have been listed for at least twice this price.

This is same as mine (removed the center storage seat to open the floor), and will not find a more stable boat for the size, at 13' has a load capacity of 960#. A 20 hp should zip it along mid 20's. With the swing arm I installed on my mine it easily fits in the garage.

I was just reminiscing with some friends about my Buoy 10 mis-adventure fishing from a 13 foot Livingston. A hot coho got wrapped in the prop, and while trying to reach out to unwind it ... I fell out of the boat head first!

Doh! :rolleyes:

ouch, that could have gone seriously bad. Never liked the 'hump' going down the middle of Livingston's...
 
This house also has a few large dragons in the yard as well as a full size fiberglass elephant that they illuminate at night. Not sure what sort of ascetic they're going for.

Starting in mid-July 2026, does anyone want to long-term (12 months +) borrow an 18’ cedar strip canoe, four handmade paddles, two LiFePO4 batteries, a 55lb electric motor, and a set of Yakima bars and canoe holder? Oh, and matching net:

Canoe is based on Canadian sea-going canoes and handles Puget Sound chop, wake, and even white caps with ease. Safe working capacity is a little over 1600lbs, canoe itself weighs about 65lbs. Bow seat is on adjustable rails. Great for salmon/searun fishing, crabbing, and camping. Watertight compartments fore and aft keep your gear dry and keep the boat afloat even if swamped. Price would be you take care good care of it and maybe send occasional photos of use.

Could throw in long-term borrowing of a matching 12’ 6-rod rod vault to sweeten the deal. Rod vault holds 6 single-hand rods of any length and reel size, or four spey rods and reels. Photos are old because it’s dark and I haven’t intentionally taken photos of it since I put it on there.
