1987 Westcoaster Bayrunner

Description

16' Bayrunner made by Westcoaster (AKA Klamath, Valco). Perfect fishing boat for Southern California and Baja. Take it on lakes and the ocean. Don't think twice about towing distances or gas. Easy for one man to handle. Park it in your driveway.

This is a sound, dry riding, welded hull fishing boat. Setup for fishing. Perfect for two men.

Refurbished and improved in 2020-21, boat and trailer. The welded hull is 1987, but everything else is much newer. Yamaha 50Hp with under 200 hours (2017). The boat has been through sea trials, including a recent circumnavigation of Santa Cruz Island, getting everything just right. It's ready to go. I put in over 300 hours, and many thousands of dollars that I’ll never get back, into this Bayrunner. I intended to keep it but, part with it I must.

Center Console with Aluminum Top and new Cloth Cover. REFURBISHED IN 2020-21 with new: all wiring, wood-seats-flooring-ribs, foam flotation, steering wheel and cable, Hummingbird Helix 10 chartplotter/fish finder, 3-hatch-cover-storage compartments, kicker motor mount, 21 gallon built-in-bow-gas-tank (balances the boat), roof, and all the all-weather-zip-and-snap-cabin-cover. The cover keeps the boat dry for storage, and the boat glass provides the option to leave the cabin glassed portion on while running.

SETUP for FISHING: 6 Rocket Launchers, Two FishFighter-Sliding-Rails 3’, Scotty Rod Holders, Scotty Manual Downriggers, Bait Tank, Fish Box (120 Qt. Igloo Cooler). Ready for Hummingbird Riptide Trolling motor (not included) (included: bow mount, conduits, battery box).

Trailer Refurbished in 2020: Rewired, new LED Taillights, 2" Ball, new Bow Roller & Jack Stand, new tires, bearings repacked, new side carriages. Bunks reset. Side carriage and bunks sit just right. You can float the boat on to the trailer if you wish. New jack stand with 6” wheel helps trailer maneuverability when you're rolling it by hand.

The boat is currently located in Somis, California. I live in Oregon. My friend Eric who lives in Somis, CA is showing the boat. We recently circumnavigated Santa Cruz Island with this boat and on the west end handing Force 5 winds and six-foot waves just fine. Bayrunners are well matched to the coastal waters of Southern California and Baja.
You can call me for more information, email me, and/or go to the website I made for this boat: bayrunner16 (just add .com). For the security of all parties, California AAA handle the closing and title. I look forward to hearing from you. Mark
