25 ft yamaha longboat ++ is sold ++

[ifishcq1]

hardcore reef fishing boat with a roof over two side cosoles and a door way between them made to make it a very dry ride.. it has a 2003 100 4st yamaha in perfect condition regularly serviced and looked after...
this has 2 big main fishing areas 1 at the front 3m x2m and 1 down the back 2m x 2m.. the length makes it ideal for travelling distances in comfort and skipping over the chop.. we go out to the shoals on a regular basis doing sometimes over 300km round trip for less than 130ltr at 22-25 knots,, beat that in any other 25 footer that can fish easy 4 guys and carry all the gear you need... it doesn't owe me alot and I have to get a new motor for my bigger longboat so I am prepared to let it go for a steal at $16,000 negotiable...it is a great boat and anyone who has ever been in a longboat will testify... why spend more on a smaller boat that pounds and won't do half the job this rig does.... any firm lookers are welcome to come for a test run a check it out $16,000 or swap for a 200hp or bigger 4stroke pm me with any questions. I am at Yeppoon and will deliver up as far as Mackay North or South to Hervey Bay

Yeah mate I agree....
My main dislike of longboats (apart from the low sides) is the centre consoles....
I wear glasses and don't like to get drenched and cold and not be able to see....
However I like this idea of the twin consoles and it probably would not be too difficult to add a hinged infill section to keep it a bit warmer and dryer for wimps like me.http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/../yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif

Seems very reasonably priced as well.

Scott

[ifishcq1]

Hi FNQ and Disorderly, it has a hinged door in between the consoles and a hinged screen up top and a fold down clear for old codgers like me. tow weight is 1500kg as of local weighbridge

SL

[disorderly]

Yeah cheers mate....upon closer inspection I saw the hinged doors and screen...thats a great idea.
Having the helm so far down the back is going to make for a comfortable ride as well.
How do these boats go in a following sea when you are shooting down the front of larger swells though.....any concerns about broaching?

I do like the boat though.http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/../yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif

Scott

[ifishcq1]

Hi Disorderly until you get used to them there is a little concern because you think it won't come up and then it does, the way you drive helps including trimming right up in a following sea and right down into a sea makes all the difference

time on the water overcomes any worries and fully foam filled gunnels and floor also ease the mind

SL

[ifishcq1]

This is a great fishing rig at a price where there is nothing in the same class... It does'nt owe me alot so you can ask in a pm ...if you are sick of your mates heading wide and you want to go with them this will get you there for heaps less money than they spent and way less fuel getting there .... all sponsor stickers will be removed at the buyers request

SL

[squizzytaylor]

Ifishcq1, I wish you well with the sale and would buy the boat in a second if it were practical for me at the moment. I have owned many long (banana) boats over the years and thier seaworthiness has to be experienced to be believed particularly through bars and rough chop that sees supposedly "hardcore" boats feeling very unconfortable.

Ifishcq1 That would be great if you could give me your number so I can call you,

Thanks

[ifishcq1]

I have just been offered a 200hp for my big boat for $13,500 so I am dropping my price... if anyone is looking for a serious fishing boat for less than a tinny is worth check this out....and with fuel going up this big rig uses less fuel than the average tinny and is far more comfortable and safe than any tinny.... $13,500 is a fairdinkum steal...there is not a boat anywhere near this for the money

[BOMBIE]

IFISHCQ any chance you could bring it to the expo at emu park this weekend so i can see it and possibly take it for a sea test CHEERS

SL

[iricangi]

Good luck with your sale.

I have a 6.1 metre longboat and is similar to yours but i don't mind getting wet.

Handles massive swell and distances with ease, just have to be experienced to know your and the boats limits.

Longboats are awesome!

[ifishcq1]

I can't believe it hasn't sold yet it seems people want pretty not functional

When someone comes along and really does want a fishing boat give me a yell

all the stickers are coming off this week ready for the touch up 2 pack

SL

[bushbeachboy]

I don't know why this boat hasn't sold yet mate. It looks like a beaut sea boat. I would have bought it already except for the finance situation. I'm moving back to Townsville shortly and it would suit me right down to the ground for a reef boat. Bloody good price too.

Sent you a PM.

Cheers

[ifishcq1]

Thanks BBB

I am not worried about selling it really because we have a few comps coming up in the next month or so and it is set up perfect for going very wide away from the crowds by the time I finish setting the big one up it will be near Christmas anyway

Cheers

SL

[Scott nthQld]

I've been keeping an eye on this thread as it sure looks a great boat and perfect for what I want to do. But alas, the funds aren't available, my only chance of getting it would be a lotto win in the short term.

good luck mate, still can't believe it hasn't sold yet.

[lamontsa]

Hey Ifishcq1,
I looked over your boat a while back...... did you get around to the Q's posted earlier?:
1. How many hours on engine
2. Is there any problems withthe hull cracking etc
3. is the tow weight 1500kg
4. has it got self draining deck
5. What does the boat come with EG: epirb, sounder, anchor and rope etc etc.
It's a glass boat i take it?

[ifishcq1]

Lamontsa

1/ 600hr

2/ no it is sound

3/yes just under 1500kg with fuel and gear over the local weighbridge

4/ yes it has scuppers

5/ it comes wth epirb, lifejackets reef anchor chain and 100m rope vhf marine 2way mirror vsheet fire extinguisher gps and sounder compass bilgepump

it is a glass boat and we will be heading out 128km next weekend so that says enough about the seaworthyness

why would anyone buy a tinny when for less money they can get a boat that really is a great offshore fisher

PM me for any more info

Cheers

Mate ...I cannot believe this boat has not sold...
A genuine full on, economical reef boat ,perfect for the QLD chop,for the price of what I paid to put a new 90hp E-Tec on the back of my 28 year old tinny..
If only I was Cher and could turn back time.....http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/../yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/wink.gif;D

Thanks Scott

I think fashion seems to be more important than function

when a true fisher comes along the boat will go

Cheers

Now sold

Travis came up last weekend and we gave her a run in 15-20knts Sunday arvo

we trimmed it across the face of 1.2 and then around the compass so he could see what a longy can do

he could not believe how well it goes in most directions so he is coming back this weekend to take it home

I hope he gets the enjoyment it has given me for the last 10 or so years hardcore offshore on a beer budget

thank you to those that were interested

Cheers

SL

[Scott nthQld]

Finally got her sold mate, well done.

Sure is a good looking boat and if I had the cash I would've taken it off your hands a long time ago
