I have more money in this boat than I am selling it for, with that said, I am not in hurry to sell it nor do I need to. I just hate seeing it sit unused. I no longer spearfish and have not taken the boat out in over a year. This Trophy is a Walkaround with a cabin. A Volvo diesel engine has been installed as an in-board and it also has the Volvo Penta DP 290 outdrive. The tank holds 100 gallons of diesel and is full. The gentleman I purchased the boat from said it gets close to 5mpg. I did not test this as I never took it more than a mile offshore but it does get good mileage putting up and down the Intercoastal. After I purchased the boat I pulled out the old electronics that were in it and installed a Garmin 7212 Chartplotter, Garmin VHF200 radio, Garmin GMR 18 HD radar, Kenwood Apple iPod/Satellite Radio Marine receiver, and Kenwood 61/2” 2-way speakers. If I remember right, all this stuff somewhere between $5000-$5500 when purchased. I never decided which one I wanted so right now the boat does NOT have a transducer. The boat has a metal grate platform on the back that can be used as a swim platform and it also holds a SSI 320 quart ice chest which will also come with the boat. The boat has a hard fiberglass top. I also purchased a custom cover for the boat which was $500 or maybe a little more. It comes with the aluminum tri-axle trailer you see it on. I installed new wiring and LED lights on the trailer and also added side marker lights. The trailer does not have brakes and pulls just fine. As far as the boat: The previous owner installed a Vintage Air AC system but I’ve never used it. The belt is also not hooked up on the compressor. I asked the guy I bought it from if it worked and he said yes but there was a squeak. I looked at the compressor pulley alignment with the crank pulley and it needs to be spaced out so that could be the only problem. This boat does have a head and freshwater tanks. I’ve never used them so I could not tell you if it works. Same thing for the live well. The previous owner stated all of this worked. The boat looks pretty good but could definitely use a good buffing in my opinion. There are also some various gel-coat cracks. The seats could use some new covers/cusions and the engine could use a good scrape and repaint, I just have not had time to do it. It comes with an anchor that has been mounted but never used. I have the good service manuals for the diesel engine and the outdrive and I'm pretty sure I have the boat owner's manual as well which I will give to the buyer. I also have the Garmin 18 HD instructional DVD that I purchased from Amazon and never opened to give to the buyer. The last time I did take out the boat I bent the props. I had a spare set so I cleaned them up, painted them, and put them on so while they look new in the picture, they are not, just painted but in good condition. I still need to tighten them up. I did not have a lock washer so I had to order one so I just loosely put them on. If I don’t get to it, I will give those parts to the buyer should the boat sell. I also have replaced the bellows and the throttle cable. I have Volvo paint and primer for the engine that I will give the buyer. Also have some paint for the outdrive that you can have. The trailer tires hold air and I have not added any in the time I owned it, surprisingly. I replaced one tire on the trailer so there is one tire that is practically new. The other 5 will probably need to be replaced sooner than later and if the boat is to go on a long road trip I would do it before the trip. I think this should cover it for now, lemme know if you have any questions and I’ll try to answer. I have the title for the boat on hand but will have to give a bill of sale for the trailer. The previous owner had the trailer registered as home made, I just kept it the same. I may be open to trades but the auction will still need to be completed through Ebay so Ebay can get paid. Boat is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the listing early if need be. Trades I would be interested in can be partial plus cash or full trade. I’d value the trade at around $20K-$22K. Things that I would be interested in and kind of in order would be: Heavy Equipment: Man lift, preferably towable and articulating with at least 35-40’ height, closer to 50' would be perfect. Need one for my yard so not an indoor unit. Hanging Christmas lights on my extension ladder sucks and I have lots of oaks that need trimming. Might consider a trade for a tractor but must have a front end loader and not too big. The only reason I don’t have one now is because I don’t want to tear up my lawn and I rarely need one. Services: Metal building kit for me to build, or you install a metal building to replace or expand on my existing pole building, or maybe a standalone building for another thing on my project list. Vehicles: Classic car, motor not that important but would prefer not much if any body work. May consider other cars just in case I do sell my truck after the boat. 4 door Jeep Wrangler, SUV, not sure, haven’t really thought about it. Lol Tools: Lincoln or Miller Tig welder, Thermal Dynamics plasma cutter, wood lathe, nice sandblast cabinet, jointer. Recreational: RV, prefer a light weight bumper pull because I may sell my F-350 after the boat and would need to tow with normal SUV. Can Am Maverick or Polaris Razr side by side, 4 door, 1000cc. No motorcycles, my wife would kill me. Will try and put some more pictures of the boat up soon but I just had surgery so it may take a few days for me to climb in for more pics. If someone lives a far distance away I’ll help with delivery for a charge of course, have to put a pen to it but probably $1.00/mile with a deposit of course and if that is the case, I’ll have 5 new tires put on the trailer if it sells for my asking price. Cash, $18,500.00 or trade around $21,500.00. I realize it is not boat selling season so don’t lowball me thinking I need to sell, I have no problem waiting or even parting the boat out to get the most money vs. selling it whole. I certainly will consider any reasonable offers. Thanks!
