DESCRIPTION:
Family situation forces sale of this great boat. A great opportunity to buy this boat without the built-in brokerage fee. Nker involved! NOW TAKING OFFERS!!!! Best offer gets this fabulous boat.
Engine only has 500 hours! Nearly new!!
24ft Aquasport Explorer cutty cabin walk-around with nearly new 250ist Honda Engine (Feb 2021) with only 500 hours. Cruises comfortably at 33 mph (max speed >40mph). New water pump installed Nov. 2023. Electronics include iCom VHF radio in radio box, 15” Humminbird G4N Mega Sidescan chart plotter ($3k new), 2 bank battery charger, and new stereo. This is a classic boat, built STRONG in 1998, with impeccable fiberglass that looks nearly new. This boat does NOT look like an old boat!
Set up for fishing and have had this boat in shallow water many times. Completely redone in 2021 with brand new Honda engine, brand new 130 gallon aluminum fuel tank, bilge pumps, live well pump, lights, t-top canvas, seat cushions, portable head, custom transom rod holder (by Action Welding), and lots of gunnel/rail rod holders with backing for catching tarpon. Large fish box in the deck to hold your catch. Lots of tarpon have been caught on this boat! Has a really excellent live well in the transom that is large and easy access. Have the cushions for cutty cabin but we have never used them. New cushions for seats. Cutty cabin is large for lots of fishing rod storage and other gear, like cast nets, etc. Ample walk around room and bow area to fight big or small fish. High gunnels in the roomy cockpit (8.6’ beam) make this boat the ideal boat for tarpon or wreck fishing. Very strong and sturdy t-top, with lots of shade, but not in your way for fishing. Anchor line w/ 20ft S.S. chain. If you want a really excellent, roomy fishing boat, that you can still take friends to lunch or sightseeing, with a reliable engine, this is the boat for you.
Just waxed and replaced the water pump in the lower unit. READY TO GO!
Trailer available SEPARATELY.
This boat is a MUST SEE to appreciate.
