25' SaCraft $15,000

[Tuna Meltdown]

$15,000
I have been told by my father to try and sell our boat as is. Some of you guys know that it sank back in August while sitting in the slip at Marina Bay. The boat will need some work and probably new engines but my asking price reflects that.

This would be a great opportunity for someone looking to move up into a great offshore rigged and very capable boat. On August 19, 2010 this boat sank up to its gunwales while at the dock. The boat was submerged up to the gunwales for 3 hours and then raised and pumped out by Tow Boat US. I had the marina mechanics try and save the motors and they were able to get them to run but not for any extended period of time. The boat was completely rinsed with fresh water and allowed to dry out. The electronics stayed above water and are still in great working condition.

Boat Description:
1998 SeaCraft 25' powered by twin 200 Mercury Optimax engines. Bright Red hull recently painted within the past 3 years. Full tower with buggy top and second set of controls. Full enclosure, all new pumps installed in 2009, Macerator in fish box, Raw-water pump, and Live well in and out pumps. 18' double rigged outriggers, more rod holders than you will ever need (I counted 16 today). Bennett hydraulic trim tabs. This is a proven Bluefin tuna raiser. Has trolled up and landed many nice tuna with this boat over the past 2 seasons. I just had the hours pulled off the engines as well and they both have just over 1100.

Electronics include:
2-VHF radios and 2-16' Digital antennas (Raytheon Ray 210 VHF & Standard Horizon Quantum GX3500S VHF)
1-Foruno color fish finder (Furuno FCV 582L)
Raytheon 16 mile radar and color GPS with local chip (Raytheon RL 70C)
1- back-up Raytheon GPS (Raytheon RC 520)

Saw it sitting in the parking lot last week.

Still looks great.

Thanks Andrew. This is a great oppurtunity for someone to buy a great boat, and with alittle TLC and a pair of new engines on the back still be way below the cost of a brand new SeaCraft.

Just had a family tire kicker email. Completely unsolicited email of your craigslist listing, asking me if I knew the boat.

I think it's going to go fast.

I've only posted it on only a handfull of places and my phone and e-mail has been ringing non-stop. I too hope it goes fast.

Tough luck on the sinking! Someone is going to get a great boat!

That really sucks about the sinking. Any idea why ?

One of the flapper valves failed in the scuppers which are below the waterline when the boat is loaded. Instead of letting water out it allowed it to come in. Thats everyones best guess.

gl Dan, should sell very fast at that price!

Guys I thought I would answer a couple of the questions I've been getting in PM's.

The Boat still has a clean tittle.

I do not have a trailer for the boat.

Thanks for the interest.
